Agent architecture route
Quick answer
This page is the boundary-definition route for agent-led workflows. Use it when authority, tool contracts, or handoff ownership are unclear. Expected result: one architecture packet that defines who can execute what, what proof is required, and how escalation works.
Do this first
Freeze one lane and lock these four decisions:
- Authority boundary: what executes automatically vs requires human decision.
- Tool contract: required input, output schema, and error schema per tool.
- State model: where run state, evidence, and rollback markers live.
- Control loop: intake → plan → execute → verify → report ownership.
Execution checklist
- Build a minimal one-lane agent loop.
- Add policy checks before each tool call.
- Require evidence artifact output at each step.
- Run two controlled failure drills.
- Publish owner map + escalation path.
Expected result
A production-safe architecture packet with explicit policy boundaries, contract checks, and named operational ownership.
Verification
- Same input class yields repeatable output pattern.
- Out-of-policy requests are blocked, logged, and routed.
- Every known failure class has an owner and escalation rule.
What happens after success
- Continue to agent failover patterns to add bounded retry/fallback logic.
- Re-run workflow orchestration to verify deterministic behavior with the new architecture constraints.
Where to go if blocked
- If execution still drifts by step order/quality, return to workflow orchestration and tighten stop conditions.
- If incident ownership spans multiple teams without a clear responder, continue to operations hub before scaling.
