Greptile SummaryThis PR changes Key changes:
Remaining concerns:
Confidence Score: 3/5Safe to merge for basic use cases, but manager may silently not delegate non-coding prompts, and the integration tests don't verify actual tool invocation. The core fix is correctly implemented and the --llm regression from the prior thread was addressed. However, two issues warrant attention before merging: (1) the manager instructions restrict delegation to "coding/analysis tasks", which could cause the manager to handle non-coding prompts directly — silently ignoring the external agent entirely; and (2) the integration tests only check a print statement rather than confirming the external tool was called, providing false confidence in coverage. The previously noted user-tools-dropping issue also remains open. Both changed files need attention: main.py for the instruction wording, and test_external_agent_delegation.py for more meaningful assertions. Important Files Changed

Don't return early from the external-agent path.
Both branches print and return before the shared direct-prompt pipeline runs, so --output json/jsonl, --save, --metrics-json, --guardrail, --final-agent, and the normal display handling are all skipped whenever --external-agent is used. That makes the new default delegation mode behave differently from the rest of the CLI in user-visible ways. Capture the delegated result and let the common rendering/post-processing path handle it instead.

Don't hardcode the subagent tool name in the manager instructions.
This prompt tells the manager to call {integration.cli_command}_tool, but integration.as_tool() only guarantees a callable. If the callable's exposed name differs, the manager will never invoke the external CLI. Derive the tool name from the returned callable (for example, tool.__name__) or reuse the existing ExternalAgentsHandler.apply_to_agent_config(...) wiring instead of duplicating it here.

agent_config['tools'] accumulates all user-supplied tools from --tools, --mcp, --web-search, etc. (lines 4140–4368) before reaching this block. The manager Agent is then constructed with only [integration.as_tool()], discarding every other tool the user requested. For example:
praisonai "task" --external-agent claude --mcp my-serverThe MCP server tools are built into agent_config['tools'] but are never passed to the manager, so the delegation agent has no access to them.
If the intent is to let the manager use these tools in addition to the external agent, the fix is:
existing_tools = agent_config.get('tools', [])
manager_tools = (existing_tools if isinstance(existing_tools, list) else []) + [integration.as_tool()]
manager = Agent(
name="Manager",
instructions=(...),
tools=manager_tools,
llm=agent_config.get('llm') or os.environ.get("MODEL_NAME", "gpt-4o-mini"),
)If it is intentionally minimal, a comment explaining the decision would prevent future confusion.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The manager's instruction ends with "Call the tool for coding/analysis tasks." This means an LLM following the instruction literally may decide NOT to delegate tasks it considers non-coding (e.g., "Say hi in exactly 5 words"), and instead answer directly — making the external agent a no-op for such prompts. The PR's own integration test uses exactly this kind of non-coding prompt ("Say hi in exactly 5 words"), so the test could pass (returning code 0) even when the manager never invokes claude_tool at all.
A more reliable instruction is to unconditionally delegate:
