I'm not quite clear what you are trying to achieve. But whatever it is,
I would recommend to use the same tools for the stub as you would for
the final implementation. If I had to write an AgentX subagent, and
needed a stub to emulate some functionality, the stub would also be
implemented as an AgentX subagent.

Sorry, can't answer that question.

If the only tool you've got is an axe, every problem looks like fun!
