What if the tools needed is large? Spawn some sub-agent for those?

These sub-agent can be repetitive.

Maybe we can reuse the result from some of them.

How about sharing them across session? There are no point repeating common tasks. We need some common protocol for those...

and we just get MCP back.

I can't find it now but there was a paper on HN a while ago that had gave agents a tool that searched through existing tools using embeddings. If the agent found a tool it could use to do its job, it used it, otherwise it wrote a new one, gave it a description, and it got saved in a database for future use with embeddings. I wonder what ever came of that.

sounds like it could be many things. there was a well-known paper called Voyager by NASA in which an agent was able to write its own skills in the form of code and improve them over time. funnily enough this agent played minecraft, and its skills were to collect materials or craft things. https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.16291

That sounds like Claude tool search tool with the extra instruction of generating new ones.
