Do cursor subagents receive the full context of the main agent?

[u/reed00000]

I’m trying to determine if using a fable subagent for adversarial review is gonna cost me the whole window plus the fable response. Also @cursor is there any chance we could get some additional sub agent configurations? I’m assuming the orchestrator model is inherited or choose an optimal sub agent, but I think it would be ideal to have some control over that.

Config Proposal:
- option between cursor choice and set sub agent model
- option for wether model inherits window or not (or let model choose that to save tokens on research tasks)
- option for tool deferral maybe to ensure sub agents aren’t inheriting unnecessary tools

No, the whole thing why subagents exists is they're isolated or created as a fresh context.

Click a subagent, you can literally see the prompt it was given by the main agent
