Agent Orchestration
An operating approach that coordinates multiple AI agents and tools under shared routing and control policies

What is agent orchestration?
Agent orchestration is the coordination layer that manages how multiple agents and tools execute tasks together.
It defines who handles what, under which permissions, and what happens when something fails.
How does it work?
A typical setup combines routing rules, permission boundaries, retry/stop policies, and execution logging.
- Classify requests and route them to the right agent
- Apply task-level permission scopes
- Handle failures with retries, fallback paths, or hard stops
- Persist logs for auditability and post-incident review
Why does it matter?
As agent count grows, operational complexity grows with it.
Without orchestration, automation can scale faster than control, increasing reliability and governance risk.
