It doesn't.

The whole point of AgentX is that the various components
(master agent plus subagents) look like one seamless whole
to the outside world.

The trap receiver will receive a notification from this one
"conglomerate agent".   It doesn't know (or care) whether this
originated from the master agent or a subagent.
   What's important is the information contained within the
notification - the data that is being transmitted.   If you need
to identify the precise subsystem that is reporting the issue,
then the trap payload varbinds is where it should be done,
not the putative address of the subagent, or some community
string.
