# List child teams

> The teams nested directly under a team, as list_teams describes them.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/teams/{team}/teams</code></div>

Anyone who can see the team.

Only the teams directly under it; read each one's own with this again. A child team inherits its parent's roles on repositories, and a mention or review request for the parent reaches its people too.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`team`](/reference/mcp/#team) with `action` `list_child_teams`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`workspace:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `workspace` | string | Yes | The workspace's slug, e.g. "flagon-io". |
| `team` | string | Yes | The team's slug, as in its mention @workspace/slug, e.g. "backend". |

## Example request

```sh
curl https://api.g1t.sh/workspaces/flagon-io/teams/engineering/teams \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN"

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
