This approach seems interesting, but in my experience, a single "agent" with proper context management is better than a complicated agent graph. Dealing with hand-off (+ hand back) and multiple levels of conversations just leaves too much room for critical information to get siloed.

If you have a narrow task that doesn't need full context, then agent delegation (putting an agent or inference behind a simple tool call) can be effective. A good example is to front your RAG with a search() tool with a simple "find the answer" agent that deals with the context and can run multiple searches if needed.

I think the PydanticAI framework has the right approach of encouraging Agent Delegation & sequential workflow first and trying to steer you away graphs[0]

This isnt true for big code bases. Subagents or orchestration become vital for context handholding
