Subagent with K8s MCP server hangs after upgrading kiro

[mdraevich]

Checks

• I have searched github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues and there are no duplicates of my issue
• I have run q doctor in the affected terminal session
• I have run q restart and replicated the issue again

Operating system

macOS 26.3.0

Expected behaviour

Subagents configured with K8s MCP tooling should function correctly after upgrading Kiro-CLI to 1.29.1, just as they did previously.
The K8s-powered agent should work both as a subagent and when invoked directly.

Actual behaviour

After upgrading to 1.29.1, subagents using the K8s MCP tooling hang with no response.
However, when the K8s-powered agent is invoked directly (kiro-cli --agent k8s), it works as expected.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure a subagent with K8s MCP tooling.
2. Upgrade Kiro-CLI to version 1.29.1.
3. Invoke the K8s-powered subagent.
4. Observe that the subagent hangs with no response.

I confirmed the issue isn't reproducible on Kiro-CLI 1.28.3.
