You've raised a great point about the ability to manually select which custom agent to use (similar to the CLI), and also highlighted a potential naming inconsistency with the
Inferproperty vs the documentedDisableModelInvocation.Labels applied:

2 questions if dont mind answering -
- The plan mode in the CLI is that just a built-in agent?
- Does the SDK automatically pick up instruction files in the working directory you give it? Or do you have to manually pick them up and feed them into the
SystemMessageproperty?

In the CLI you can set the agent you want to use -

From what i can see with the SDK you can only give it a list of Agents to use -
With no option to set which one to use manually. In the custom agent model there is an
Inferboolean property which means when set to false that agent wont be used automatically, but without a way to manually set one whats the point of it?
