Cross-Domain Enterprise Agent Network

Problem

Building a single mega-agent grounded against every backing system produces an agent with a sprawling tool catalogue, no clear domain ownership, and no domain-specific guardrails. Recall drops as the catalogue grows: the agent picks the wrong tool, mixes up vocabularies between domains, and applies finance rules to an HR question. Compliance teams have nowhere to attach domain controls, and no single team can be made accountable for the whole thing. Flat tool-use agents over a flat catalogue degrade in exactly this regime.

Solution

Build one specialised agent per business domain, each with its own grounded data, tool palette, and acceptance criteria. Define a standardised inter-agent protocol for handoffs (e.g. A2A, MCP). When a task crosses domains, the source agent routes to the target via the protocol, passing a typed artefact. An optional supervisor or role-based assistant fronts the user and dispatches to the right entry agent.

When to use

• Enterprise agency spans multiple domains (finance, supply chain, HR, service) each with its own system of record.
• A standardised inter-agent protocol (A2A, MCP) is available or can be adopted.
• Each domain benefits from its own grounded data, tool palette, and acceptance criteria.
