Qwen Code 0.21.11 adds Agent Plugins v1 support, with caveats

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Qwen Code version 0.21.11 introduces native support for Agent Plugins v1, allowing users to install and link these packages without needing to convert their manifest files. However, not all components of an Agent Plugin are guaranteed to function within Qwen Code, as it primarily supports direct-child Agent Skills and specific MCP server types. Developers are advised to treat this release as a portable-core version and to rigorously test compatibility, verify package integrity, and maintain project-scoped rollbacks before broad deployment.
