Subagents: No way to pre-approve/trust tools - requires manual approval for every tool use

[lxa-g]

I am using the new subagent feature, but I found myself keep watching its progress hitting 'y'... for it to be useful.

same here, i added to my kiro-cli prompt to not use subagent, since it's not really faster to approve every new subagent, nor do i personally really want subagent to make changes unsupervised.

+1 It sounds like we can tell Kiro to use a custom agent we've defined which has pre-approved tools, but I don't want to tell Kiro constantly which subagent to use.

Suggestion: make subagents inherit the main agent's permissions. Giving the different subagents different permissions seems like we've overly personified the subagents as independently entities when practically "subagents" are just giving the same LLM different context to make decisions off of.

Alternative: add some sort of "subagentAllowedTools" setting or let users edit the default agent to give it * permissions.

Alternative: add an option for trust all subagent tool calls when approving subagent tool use.

This is really frustrating having to keep pressing y

I never use subagents because of this

So I actually got this working (it was user error SHOCKER) if you need help share the agent def with me and I can take a look!
