Tool Delegate work to coworker accepts these inputs: Delegate a specific task to one of the following coworkers: web researcher
The input to this tool should be the coworker, the task you want them to do, and ALL necessary context to execute the task, they know nothing about the task, so share absolute everything you know, don't reference things but instead explain them.

Oh interesting, I was not aware of this, so this is to make sure the agent being delegated can use the tasks tools? |
|
The problem I was trying to fix is of AgentTools ( Line 733 in 2fe79e6 ... causing delegation to not work. |
|
After going through the docs and code again, I realized that delegation is meant for only hierarchical processes and I was trying delegation with a sequential process. That's why it didn't work. Feel free to close this PR if it's not a use-case you want to or makes sense to support. |

Oh it was supposed to work on sequential as well, I'll run some tests locally |
|
Just ran into this exact issue, the docs say that delegation should work for Sequential but I was never seeing coworkers being used. Looking at the proposed change, I think it might read better if _prepare_agent_tools was removed which adds the delegation tasks to the task's tool list (which is a bit weird given allow_delegation is a property of an Agent not a task). |
