Some things are impossible to just tack on or work around though, like MCP, while other things, can be done by just composing stuff.
Like sub-agents, you could just instruct pi/any harness with a user prompt/system prompt to start new invocations of itself, if you share what the exact command is, and pi or any other harness will do their own poor man's version of sub-agent via standard unix programs.
I had the model write up a pi extension for logging the transcript to the syslog, and all on its own initiative it spawned a subagent to generate test output. It decided to spawn a lighter model for this trivial task, apparently unaware that I can only fit one model at a time so my llama-server ended up thrashing to the lighter model then back to the original model. My own personal n=2 semi- rogue swarm
What would you say is a good harness with subagents?
I found the MCP extension for Pi to work fine.
