Agent Communication

Domain: Agent Fundamentals

🎯 Motivation

Agents in a multi-agent system need to exchange information. Communication protocols define how they share messages, results, and status.

πŸ“‹ Concrete Example

Agent A sends to B: {task: find_stock_price, result: β€˜AAPL: $185’, confidence: 0.95}. Agent B receives this and uses it in its reasoning. Structured messages enable reliable coordination.

πŸ”— Analogy

Players on a basketball team calling plays - β€˜Pick and roll!’, β€˜Screen left!’, β€˜I am open!’ Each call (message) coordinates the team. Agent communication protocols are the plays and calls of AI teams.
