Key Requirements

  • Share context between agents without blowing up token costs
  • Handle a failing or stuck agent gracefully
  • Decide when multi-agent is worth it vs. a single agent
  • Trace and debug across the full agent pipeline
  • Prevent the coordinator from hallucinating tasks

Interviewer Follow-ups

  • Q1How do you debug a 5-agent pipeline when output is wrong?
  • Q2What happens when the coordinator hallucinates a subtask?
  • Q3How do you handle partial failure without cascading?
