Common Questions

How many workers can a supervisor manage?

No hard limit. Practical limit depends on your plan's agent count (1 Starter, 5 Team, 25 Business).

Do workers share context?

The supervisor manages context passing. Workers receive relevant context for their specific task.

What if a worker fails?

The supervisor detects failures and can retry, reassign, or escalate to you.
