Orchestrator Agent

Also known as: coordinator agent

An orchestrator agent is a coordinating model responsible for decomposing a high-level goal into subtasks, assigning those subtasks to specialist worker agents, and synthesizing their outputs into a coherent final result. The orchestrator does not itself execute low-level actions; instead it plans, delegates, monitors progress, and handles failures by re-routing or retrying. This separation keeps individual agents focused while concentrating planning complexity in one place.
