Support for built-in tools within sub-agents #413
Description
Currently, built-in tools cannot be used within a sub-agent as listed here. In addition, max one built-in tool can be passed.
Why does ADK have these limitations and are we planning to allow this in the future ?
Seems like it would be very useful for a sub-agent to do built_in_code_execution but not have the main agent do that. The docs say that this will not work even though its very sensible to separate it this way.
