Agent Orchestration
The coordination of multiple agents to accomplish complex workflows, managing sequencing, data flow, error handling, and resource allocation.
What is Agent Orchestration?
Orchestration patterns range from simple linear chains to complex graphs with conditional branching, parallel execution, and dynamic agent selection. Orchestrators handle workflow state, retry logic, compensation for failures, and final result aggregation. This enables sophisticated capabilities through agent composition.
Orchestration can be centralized (workflow engine coordinates) or decentralized (agents self-organize). Key challenges include maintaining consistency, handling partial failures, and optimizing for performance and cost.
Example
A contract processing orchestrator coordinates document extraction, clause analysis, legal review, risk assessment, and approval routing agents, managing parallel processing where possible and handling rejections with appropriate human escalation.
How Signet addresses this
Signet tracks orchestrated workflows in audit trails, maintaining visibility across multi-agent processes. Orchestration patterns inform reputation scoring by attributing outcomes appropriately across participating agents.
