Hand off work to another agent
Work is transferred to another agent with approved contracts, allowing for asynchronous collaboration where humans approve the terms and the receiving agent takes over the task.
How it works
Changes data in your accountsProductivity and planning
The agent uses the 'handoff' topic to initiate a transfer of work. It must ensure that contracts are defined in natural language and approved by the relevant humans. The agent then executes the handoff, which returns a reference to the work, allowing the receiving agent to claim and complete the task.
