Add a subflow to an AI agent

Add a subflow to an AI agent in AI Agent Studio. Subflows are reusable sequences of processing steps that can be called from within a flow.

始める前に

When an AI agent uses a subflow tool, the user the AI agent is running as must pass the ACL of the subflow. Ensure that the security configurations for the subflow are met by the AI agent and agentic workflow. For more information, see Security for AI agents.
