Orchestration
Orchestration tools let an agent hand the conversation off to another agent in a multi-agent topology.
For each tool, the Tool schema table describes the tool as it is exposed to the LLM.
pass_question
Passes the current user question to another agent. For details, see Multi-agent topologies.
Tool schema
Parameters the tool exposes to the LLM.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
agent
|
string | Name of the agent to pass the question to. |
question
|
string | The question to pass on. Speech-to-speech models only — for textual models the current user utterance is passed automatically, so this parameter is not used. |
Sample prompt
In most cases the tool can be referenced in the prompt by its description, naming the recipient agent. For example:
If the user asks a question about university courses,
pass the question to `university-courses` agent.send_message
Sends a message to another agent. For details, see Multi-agent topologies.
Tool schema

Sample prompt
In most cases the tool can be referenced in the prompt by its description, naming the recipient agent and the information to send. For example:

the caller's name, SSN and intent to `doctor-schedule` agent.
