Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/langchain-ai/deepagentsjs/issues/385

Is it possible to disable the general purpose subagent without overriding it?
I'm trying to disable sub-agents entirely. My current solution is to patch the library and set the following to false. https://github.com/langchain-ai/deepagentsjs/blob/48f21c3c6f3b02a69fd39655c8cb3c8a920889c3/libs/deepagents/src/agent.ts#L324

Is there a better way?

@hntrl commented on GitHub (Jun 2, 2026):

Hey @mcrlc! Sorry for the delay in response.

We consider the general purpose agent to be a base behavior for the harness and thus shouldn't be amended. Are you running into any difficulty with subagents? Are subagents being created too eagerly? Basically if you have any data that can inform how we should think about our defaults that would be much appreciated.

You can disable subagents entirely by way of profiles, or by destructuring into your own createAgent instance
