description: Report live subagent-mcp session state by calling the get_status MCP tool and rendering it in a uniform plain-ASCII layout. Use when the user says "smcp status", "/smcp:status", "routing status", "which providers active", or "agent count". Live data only; reads no state files.

# subagent-mcp Status

When triggered, call the `get_status` MCP tool and present its live session

state. Use **only** what `get_status` returns. Do not read state files, guess,

or cache: the numbers come from the running MCP server's in-memory state, so a

fresh call each time is the single source of truth. If the `get_status` tool is

not available, say the subagent-mcp MCP server is not connected in this session

and point the user at the `/smcp:doctor` skill.

## Data source

`get_status` returns a JSON object with these fields:

- `providers_loaded` - array of provider names parsed from `providers.jsonc`

at server start.

- `agent_count` - number of agents launched since this server process started.

- `session_start_time` - ISO timestamp of the MCP server process boot (may be

null), used to compute uptime.

- `last_routing_decisions` - array of `{ category, provider, timestamp,

elapsed_ms }`, most recent last, capped at the last 10.

+ - `swarm` - agentic-swarm session snapshot: `{ active, current_stage,

+ stage_name, pin_active, pin_expires_at }`. When `active` is false all other

+ swarm fields are null or false.

## Presentation (E1-standardized)

Render uniform, one-item-per-line, plain-ASCII output. No smart quotes, no

emoji, no tables. Use this exact shape:

```

subagent-mcp status

providers_loaded (N): name1, name2, ...

agent_count: K (since session start)

last routing decisions (most recent last):

1. category=<category> provider=<provider> elapsed_ms=<n>

2. category=<category> provider=<provider> elapsed_ms=<n>

3. category=<category> provider=<provider> elapsed_ms=<n>

```

Rules for filling it in:

- `providers_loaded`: print the count then the comma-separated names. If the

array is empty, print `providers_loaded (0): none loaded`. If you can

determine reachability (for example from a recent `/smcp:doctor` run in this

conversation), add a short parenthetical note per provider such as

`(reachable)` or `(unreachable)`; otherwise omit the note rather than

guessing - `get_status` alone does not probe reachability.

- `agent_count`: print the integer verbatim. When `session_start_time` is

present you may add uptime, for example `agent_count: 4 (since session start,

up 12m)`; if it is null, just print the count.

- last routing decisions: show the **last 3** entries from

`last_routing_decisions` (the 3 most recent). Number them 1-3 with the oldest

of the three first and the newest last. If fewer than 3 exist, show what is

there. If the array is empty, print `last routing decisions: none yet`.

+ Add a `swarm` line after the routing decisions block:

+ - When `swarm.active` is true: `swarm: stage <current_stage> of 7 (<stage_name>), pin <active|off>`

+ - When `swarm.active` is false: `swarm: idle`

+ `pin` reflects `swarm.pin_active`: print `active` when true, `off` when false.

+ Do not print `pin_expires_at` unless it adds useful context (for example, if

+ the user asks how long the pin remains active).

Keep every line plain and aligned by field name so successive status reports

read the same way.
