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.

## 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`.

Keep every line plain and aligned by field name so successive status reports
read the same way.
