I have a bunch of subagents and I am looking to output structured responses from the subagents but I am not sure if the framework supports it in deepagents package. My use-case is to validate subagents responses. Thank you for your help!

Hey there! Yes, you could modify your subagents to use structured output if you create the subagent separately using create_agent that has a response format , then add it to your deep agent via CompiledSubagent ! You could also achieve this via middleware if you prefer.

Can subagents in deepagents output structured response?
