How an agent calls the agents it may call (CallableAgents).

public enum SubAgentCallMode

Fields

Background = 0

The agent starts a background task, waits for it and reads its result with the Microsoft Agent Framework task tools. Several sub-agents run in parallel. The default.

Tool = 1

Each callable agent is one tool, named after the agent. One call runs the sub-agent and returns its answer. The model sees one tool per agent instead of the task tools, so a single delegation costs fewer model calls and fewer prompt tokens; the calling agent does not start sub-agents in parallel on its own account.
