Agent Handoff
The transfer of an ongoing task or conversation from one AI agent to another, including the relevant context needed for the receiving agent to continue seamlessly.
In Depth
Agent handoff enables fluid multi-agent workflows. When one agent completes its part of a task or determines another agent is better suited, it hands off with full context — the conversation so far, decisions made, results gathered, and what remains to be done. Good handoff protocols preserve continuity so the user (or downstream system) experiences a seamless interaction, even though multiple agents are involved behind the scenes.
