fx 0.0.17 adds subagents, Token Pass
Vercel's lightweight native coding agent fx adds hierarchical subagents with interactive steering alongside built-in Vercel Token Pass credit support. The release also cuts tool definition payloads by 48% to maximize prompt cache hits.
By bringing nested subagents into a 6MB native Zig binary, fx proves that multi-agent execution doesn't require heavy runtimes or bulky IDE wrappers.
- –Subagents can nest two levels deep with independent models, effort settings, and permission boundaries while remaining inspectable and steerable mid-execution
- –First-class Vercel Token Pass integration prioritizes subsidized models in the picker, reducing out-of-pocket API costs for teams
- –The unified toolbox system consolidates skills and MCP selection into static schemas, boosting prompt cache hit rates from 61.3% to 82.0%
- –Background process steering lets developers redirect agents without terminating running shell jobs or losing terminal context
