[FEATURE]: Subagent view - permission requests #15332
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Currently, when a subagent requests permission, the prompt appears under the main agent. As a result, when multiple agents are running in parallel, it is not clear which specific agent is requesting approval. Additionally, if I am monitoring the subagent’s messages, I cannot see that it is waiting for permission or understand the reason for the delay. I have to navigate back to the parent agent to verify whether a permission request is pending.
Proposal
When a subagent requests permission, the approval dialog should open directly within the subagent’s view. This would make it immediately visible that the specific agent is waiting for approval.
In the parent agent view, the system should clearly indicate which subagent requires manual intervention — for example, by highlighting it, flashing a visual indicator, or providing a direct link that navigates to the relevant subagent.

It would indeed be great if the sub-agent permission request actually shows more context than: I want to run "command" but not "command some argument some other argument". In the case of MCP tool calls, the context is completely lost and you have to switch to the agent view just to be able to follow...
