Adaptive handoffs for multi-agent systems
A delegation need not always be prose or always be structured. Routed Graph Handoff selects a typed dependency graph or natural language for each task, then relies on an executor that understands the chosen form.
Route the handoff format, not just the task

Routed Graph Handoff: Adaptive Format Selection for Multi-Agent LLM Delegation
The system routes between a typed DAG and prose fallback. The contribution is adaptive selection; graph-only handoff is not presented as universally better.
The paper reports a 12.7-point gain on τ-bench retail and an 8.7-point gain on BrowseComp against named prose baselines.
Opportunities for future work
Future work can improve adaptive executors and routing policies for tasks that need flexible reasoning, while retaining a natural-language fallback as a useful design option.
