Hierarchical Agents
Hierarchical agents are organized in a tree-like structure where higher-level agents decompose goals and delegate to lower-level agents, which may in turn spawn further sub-agents. This mirrors organizational hierarchies: a top-level planner handles strategy, middle-tier agents manage subsystems, and leaf agents execute atomic actions. The structure scales well to complex tasks but introduces depth-related latency and makes end-to-end failure attribution more difficult.
