Episode notes
Keep The System Simple First
- Prefer simple implementations: use a while loop and scoped agents before adding complexity.
- Keep prompts small and tools focused so each agent has limited responsibility.
Function-to-JSON Schema Is Helpful But Limited
- Swarm auto-converts Python functions into JSON schema for function calling, easing tool integration.
- But descriptions and parameter docs matter heavily and often require manual tuning.
Use Functions To Hand Off Control
- Implement handoff tools that return the target agent to transfer control programmatically.
- Use these functions as the explicit mechanism for routing between agents.
