Summary
Why
PR #27919 simplified the v1
spawn_agentprompt by removing its delegation decision guidance. That left the authorization rule intact, but removed the instructions that constrained what should be delegated after spawning was authorized.Restore those guardrails while preserving later support for explicit delegation authorization from applicable AGENTS.md and skill instructions. Multi-agent v2 prompts are unchanged.
User impact
Models using the v1 multi-agent tool surface receive clearer guidance to delegate independent side work while keeping blocking work on the main rollout.
