Workflow state
A durable record of context, decisions, progress, retries, and completion.
03 / Connected systems
Stateful agent workflows connecting software, data, business rules, approvals, and escalation across a complete process.
Discuss this systemSERVICE SCOPE
Connected systems are for work that cannot be completed in one interaction. They preserve context across steps, coordinate multiple tools or agents, and keep exceptions from disappearing between systems.

SYSTEM COMPOSITION
Reliable orchestration requires explicit state, validation, retries, handoffs, and recovery. Agent reasoning is used where judgment adds value; deterministic logic handles what should remain predictable.
A durable record of context, decisions, progress, retries, and completion.
APIs, tools, events, data stores, and business software connected through defined contracts.
Specialized agent steps, routing logic, shared context, and controlled handoffs.
Validation, recovery paths, approval requests, and escalation with complete context.
WHERE IT FITS
Work that crosses several tools, teams, or decision points
Processes where context is lost between manual handoffs
Operations requiring both autonomous execution and approval boundaries
DELIVERY MODEL
Model the real workflow, including exceptions, authority, and system constraints.
Connect state, agent steps, deterministic rules, tools, and approval paths.
Test failure modes, observe execution, and improve recovery and throughput.
