What is Agent Orchestration?
Agent orchestration is coordinating multiple agents — planning, delegating, and executing subtasks — toward a single goal.
How it works
A coordinator decomposes a goal and delegates to specialized agents.
Agents run in parallel, share context, and report back.
Why it changes spend
Orchestration multiplies spend: N agents × their tool calls and retries.
No single agent looks expensive; the fleet does.
The control
Shared ceilings and velocity limits across the orchestrated fleet stop compounding.
FAQ
Is orchestration worth the complexity?
For complex goals, yes — but budget the fleet, not the agents.
What's the biggest risk?
Compounding — many agents retrying the same failure in parallel.
