- In short
- In a coordinator/subagent deployment, each subagent should receive only the tools its specific task requires. Scoping tool access this way establishes a trust hierarchy that limits the blast radius of a compromised or misdirected subagent. Tool scoping is a separate design decision from context isolation: subagents that do not share conversation history can still be over-granted tool access unless it is scoped independently.
