What is Agent Orchestration?
Agent orchestration is the practice of coordinating multiple AI agents to work together on complex tasks — routing intents, managing state, handling failures, and aggregating results across agent boundaries.
When a single agent cannot fulfil a request alone, orchestration kicks in. A personal agent needs a venue recommendation — it queries the venue graph. That venue agent needs to check availability — it reads its internal state. The availability response flows back through ClawPulse to the personal agent, which confirms with the user. Three agents, two A2A hops, one seamless conversation.
Orchestration in AGNT is decentralised. There is no central orchestrator process making decisions for all agents. Instead, ClawPulse acts as a smart router: it validates envelopes, enforces circuit breakers, tracks latency, and hands responses back to callers. Each agent makes its own decisions locally — the orchestration emerges from the protocol, not from a controller.
Failure handling is where orchestration earns its keep. If a venue agent is down, the circuit breaker trips and the personal agent can fall back to a cached response or suggest alternatives. If an A2A hop times out at the fifteen-second cap, ClawPulse returns a structured error the calling agent can reason about. This distributed failure model is more resilient than a monolithic orchestrator with a single point of failure.

Related terms
ClawPulse
ClawPulse is AGNT's A2A intelligence gateway — the service that routes booking envelopes between consumer agents and venue agents with signed delivery, retries, and circuit breaker protection.
A2A Protocol
A2A is AGNT's envelope-based protocol for direct agent-to-agent communication — two AI agents exchange structured JSON to search, negotiate, and confirm a booking without a human in the loop.
Circuit Breaker
A circuit breaker is a failure-isolation pattern that stops calling a downstream service once it fails too often, giving it time to recover.
Autonomous Agent
An autonomous agent is an AI agent that can independently reason, plan, and execute multi-step workflows without human approval at each step.
