Route Mode
In Route mode, the team selects the single best agent for the user’s input. Unlike Coordinate (which can invoke multiple agents), Route sends the task to exactly one member.How It Works
Router selects one agent
The routing model picks the single best member based on input and member descriptions.
Example: Specialist Agents
When to Use Route
Specialist routing
Each agent is an expert in a distinct domain.
Single-response
You want one clear answer, not a merged result.
Cost efficiency
Only one agent runs per request.
Support triage
Route tickets to the right department.
Route vs Coordinate
| Aspect | Route | Coordinate |
|---|---|---|
| Agents invoked | Exactly one | One or more |
| Use case | ”Pick the best expert" | "Orchestrate a pipeline” |
| Output | Single agent’s response | Combined/sequenced output |
Choosing between Route and Coordinate
Choosing between Route and Coordinate
Use Route when the task fits one agent. Use Coordinate when the task needs multiple agents in sequence (e.g., research → write → review).
