Artificial intelligence agent delegation transfers work through a clear request that identifies the objective, relevant evidence, permitted tools, constraints, destination role, and completion criteria. A good handoff also preserves provenance and explains which decisions remain with the delegating human or agent.
Delegation must not silently expand permission. The receiving agent should validate untrusted context, reject work outside its authority, report blockers, and return an observable result that the team can verify before consequential downstream action occurs.
