Multi-Agent Systems

Scaling Multi-Agent Systems

Scalable agent products depend on queues, model routing, tool contracts, monitoring, caching, and evaluation loops.

Service boundaries

Separate product workflows, model calls, retrieval, and external integrations so each part can be monitored and improved independently.

Tool contracts

Each tool should define inputs, outputs, failure states, retry behavior, and audit events.

type ToolContract = {
  name: string;
  inputSchema: unknown;
  retryable: boolean;
  auditLevel: "standard" | "sensitive";
};

Key takeaways

  • Scalability starts with boundaries.
  • Observability is required for model-backed systems.
  • Evaluation should run alongside shipping.
