"""Multi-agent graph tools backed by the SDK-native :class:`AgentCoordinator`.
- ``view_agent_graph``: render the parent/child tree.
- ``send_message_to_agent``: append a message to another agent's SDK session.
- ``wait_for_message``: pause this agent until a message arrives or
``timeout_seconds`` elapses.
- ``create_agent``: asks the scan runner to spawn an addressable child.
- ``agent_finish``: subagents only — posts a structured completion
report to the parent's SDK session and returns a final-output marker.

Use when you have nothing useful to do until a child/peer responds

- **Never** call this if you finished your own task and have **no**
child agents running — that's a permanent stall. Call

- If you're waiting on an agent that **isn't your child**, message
it first asking it to ping you when done — otherwise it has no
reason to send to your inbox and you'll wait the full timeout.
- Children update the parent automatically via ``agent_finish``
→ no extra coordination needed.
Args:
reason: One-line note shown in graph snapshots while you're
waiting (helps a human or sibling agent debug who's stuck

"""Spawn a specialist child agent to run in parallel.
Decompose complex pentests by handing focused subtasks to dedicated
children. The child runs asynchronously — the parent continues
immediately and can ``wait_for_message`` later (or just keep
working in parallel). When the child calls ``agent_finish``, its
completion report lands in the parent's inbox.
**Before spawning, call ``view_agent_graph``** to confirm no
existing agent already covers this scope — duplicate specialists
waste turns and create coordination headaches.
**Specialization principles:**
- Most agents need at least one ``skill`` to be useful.
- Aim for **1-3 related skills** per agent. Up to 5 only when the
task genuinely spans them.
- One skill = most focused (e.g., XSS-only). Five skills = upper
bound.
- Match the ``name`` to the focus (``XSS Specialist``,
``SQLi Validator``, ``Auth Specialist``).
**When to spawn vs do it yourself:**
- Spawn when the subtask is large, parallelizable, or needs
different specialization than what you're already doing.
- Don't spawn for trivial one-shot probes — just run the tool
yourself.
Args:
name: Human-readable child name (used in graph views and
``send_message_to_agent`` flows).
task: Specific objective. Be concrete — what to test, what
success looks like, any constraints.
inherit_context: Default ``True``. The child receives the
parent's input history as background; only set ``False``
when starting a clean-slate task.
skills: Comma-separated skill names. Max 5; prefer 1-3.
