Recommended action: Wrap each built-in-tool agent with AgentTool and give those AgentTools to the root agent instead of listing it in sub_agents; on ADK Python >=1.16 search tools can use bypass_multi_tools_limit=True.
Option: Use AgentTool instead of sub_agents for built-in tools [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Any agent tree using google_search / code execution below the root
Steps:
1. Create search_agent = Agent(tools=[google_search]) and coding_agent = Agent(code_executor=BuiltInCodeExecutor())
2. root_agent = Agent(tools=[AgentTool(agent=search_agent), AgentTool(agent=coding_agent)])
Expected: Root agent calls built-in-tool agents as tools without the 400.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
