Release Notes: TaskTool

New Feature: TaskTool for Spawning Sub-Agents

We've added TaskTool, a new tool that enables agents to spawn sub-agents for handling specific tasks. This allows for dynamic task delegation with controlled tool access.

Key Features:

• Agents can spawn sub-agents with specific tools and configurations
• Sub-agents run non-interactively and return results to the parent
• Supports nested operations and recursive task delegation
• Flexible tool access: delegate specific tools, all tools, or no tools

Example Usage:

# Agent spawns a sub-agent to handle a calculation
{
    "request": "task_tool",
    "system_message": "You are a calculator. Use multiply_tool to compute products.",
    "prompt": "Calculate 5 * 7",
    "tools": ["multiply_tool"],
    "model": "gpt-4o-mini"
}
