Agent Composition and Delegation

Agent Composition and Delegation

Agents can work together. A personal assistant agent can delegate to specialist agents: a scheduler agent for calendar management, a research agent for information gathering, a domain expert for specialised questions.

From your perspective, you interact with one agent. Behind the scenes, it coordinates with its delegates to get you the best result. All of this is tracked, governed, and cost-attributed the same as direct interactions.

Your administrator configures which agents can delegate to which, and what each delegate is allowed to do. The same scheduler agent might have full calendar access when serving one team and read-only access for another.

When your agent delegates work, each agent in the chain:

  • Operates under its own permissions and policies
  • Maintains its own knowledge — your conversation history is not forwarded in full
  • Is individually cost-attributed
  • Must stay within the governance rules your administrator has set
