Answer

agentic orchestration

Agentic orchestration is the layer that coordinates multiple AI agents, tools and human approvals into a single reliable workflow. If an individual agent is a worker, orchestration is the shift manager: it decides sequencing, handles retries, enforces permissions, maintains shared state and decides when to escalate to a person. Search volume for the term has climbed steadily through 2026, and enterprise buyers are the reason.

  • A planner that decomposes an objective into steps and selects the agent for each.
  • A state store so context persists across steps without being replayed in full.
  • A policy engine granting per-step, per-agent tool permissions rather than blanket access.
  • Observability: traces of every decision, tool call and output, because debugging a non-deterministic system without traces is guesswork.
