Edilec engineers propose structured contracts for multi-agent system handoffs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new article from Edilec's engineering team proposes a structured approach to agent handoffs in multi-agent systems, emphasizing the transfer of authority and a bounded set of actions rather than conversational context. The proposed 'contract' includes objective task status, permitted actions with limits, and evidence by reference, while excluding sensitive information like transcripts or persona prompts. This methodology aims to improve accountability and prevent errors by clearly defining responsibility and treating natural language reports as structured, enumerated terminal states. AI

    A Handoff Is a Transfer of Authority, Not a Transfer of Context

    <p>The easiest way to build a multi-agent system is to let one agent call another and pass along the conversation so far. It works in a demo. It fails in production for a reason that has nothing to do with model quality: the transcript is the one thing that does not need to cross…
