This is a really nice demonstration of

  • how elicitation enables the core agentic interaction (worker querying supervisor for more info as task unfolds)
  • the "agent = server + client" formulation

BTW one thing that was mentioned in modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#382 that might be useful to add is an example of handling an elicitation from a subagent that needs to be forwarded up to the user - I suspect this pattern will be pretty common, and it fits within the intent of this example (rather than starting down the slippery slope of a more general "here's how to do agents" demo, which ofc this is very useful as a framing device for).
