//! Task tools for delegated child runs.
//!
//! The Task tool allows the main agent to delegate one or more specialized
//! tasks to focused child runs. Each child run gets bounded context and the
//! permissions declared by its agent definition.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! ```json
//! {"tasks": [{
//!   "agent": "explore",
//!   "description": "Find authentication code",
//!   "prompt": "Search for files related to user authentication..."
//! }]}
//! ```
