Problem

The Streaming section under the Subagents page has nothing to do with streaming. Its actual content is about:

  • Setting name on agents/subagents
  • Using lc_agent_name metadata in LangSmith traces to differentiate agents

This is tracing / agent identification, not streaming. Users looking for actual subagent streaming guidance (e.g., how to consume streaming tokens from subagents via astream_events, astream, etc.) will be misled by the heading.

Multiple GitHub issues confirm this confusion:

Suggestion

Either:

  1. Rename the section to something like "Tracing / Agent Identification" to accurately describe the content, or
  2. Add actual streaming content (how to consume subagent streaming output) and move the tracing/metadata info to its own section.
