In multi-agent systems, a primary agent or orchestrator delegates subtasks to specialized agents or tools — passing the context, goal, and relevant data for each specific subtask, receiving results, and incorporating them into the overall workflow.
A master procurement agent that delegates vendor data retrieval to a CRM integration agent, quote comparison to an analysis agent, and purchase order generation to a document creation agent — then combines all three results into a final action — is operating through task delegation. Each specialist does what it does best; the orchestrator assembles the pieces.
