Agent orchestration

Agent orchestration coordinates multiple agents or steps toward one outcome. One pattern is manager-led delegation, where a parent agent decides at run time which specialist agent to call, treating each one like a tool. The other is an explicit orchestrator, a graph of states and edges defined ahead of time, where the control flow is fixed and only the content varies.

Enterprises that automate a real process, not just a single question, need orchestration to stay predictable and reviewable. A loan review or a claims workflow already has a defined sequence of steps in the business, and the automation should mirror that sequence rather than leave the order of operations to a single model's judgement on every run.

A request comes in, an intake agent classifies it, a document agent extracts the relevant fields, and a policy agent checks them against the rules, each step handing off to the next in a fixed order.

In Dynamiq, both patterns are available: attach an agent as a tool of another agent for delegation, with call limits and a setting that lets a specialist's answer pass straight back as the final one, or use the Graph Orchestrator to define states, edges and conditions explicitly. Every step, in either pattern, appears in the run's trace.
