|------|-------------|-------------|
| `default` | Prompt for each tool call | Standard interactive use |
| `acceptEdits` | Auto-accept file edits, prompt for others | Trusted editing workflows |

> **Nested spawning (v2.1.172)**: Subagents can spawn their own subagents, nested up to 5 levels deep. Earlier versions did not allow nesting. See [04-subagents/README.md](04-subagents/README.md#restrict-spawnable-subagents) for the `Agent(agent_type)` syntax that restricts which subagents a given subagent may spawn.
