Agent Delegate

Agent Delegation (Inter-Agent ONLY)

Delegate tasks to other AI agents in the Content Factory ecosystem via N8N WF 26 Agent Dispatcher.

CRITICAL: When to Use vs When NOT to Use

USE this skill when:

• User asks you to delegate reasoning to another agent
• "Ask Moltis to analyze competitive landscape"
• "Have TG-Kombain run a full parsing strategy for channel X"
• Task requires another agent's judgment, not just data retrieval

DO NOT use this skill when:

• User wants to publish content → use n8n-api skill
• User wants data or stats → use tg-kombain skill
• User wants to trigger a workflow → use n8n-api skill
• User wants system health check → use tg-kombain skill

Rule of thumb: If the request can be fulfilled by a single API call, don't delegate. Only delegate when the task needs multi-step reasoning from another agent.

Architecture

You (IDEA/Secretary) ──► N8N WF 26 ──► Target Agent
                                         ├── Moltis Atlas (deep research, analysis)
                                         ├── TG-Kombain (complex multi-step automation)
                                         └── N8N (workflow orchestration)

When to Delegate to Each Agent

Delegation via N8N Webhook

Endpoint: POST $N8N_BASE_URL/webhook/agent-dispatch

Body (AgentMessage):

{
  "from_agent": "openclaw",
  "to_agent": "moltis",
  "action": "delegate",
  "task_id": "unique-task-id",
  "payload": {
    "message": "Describe the task clearly..."
  },
  "metadata": {
    "priority": "normal",
    "timeout_seconds": 300,
    "callback_url": "https://openclaw-v3-production.up.railway.app/hooks/agent"
  }
}

Valid Agents

• openclaw (this agent — you)
• moltis (deep research, Rust sandbox, 79 MCP tools: 76 TG-Kombain + 3 N8N)
• tg-kombain (Telegram automation platform)
• n8n (workflow orchestration)

Valid Actions

• delegate — ask another agent to perform a reasoning task
• query — ask for synthesized analysis (not raw data)
• notify — send a notification (no response expected)
• result — return task result (callback from target agent)

Example: Delegate Research to Moltis

curl -s -X POST "$N8N_BASE_URL/webhook/agent-dispatch" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "from_agent": "openclaw",
    "to_agent": "moltis",
    "action": "delegate",
    "payload": {
      "message": "Analyze competitive landscape for Telegram channels in crypto niche. Compare top 10 channels by engagement, growth, and content strategy. Use get_audience_insights and get_parsed_channels tools."
    },
    "metadata": {
      "priority": "normal",
      "timeout_seconds": 600,
      "callback_url": "https://openclaw-v3-production.up.railway.app/hooks/agent"
    }
  }'

Result Callback

When a delegated task completes, the result arrives at your hooks endpoint: POST /hooks/agent with body:

{
  "task_id": "...",
  "from_agent": "moltis",
  "status": "completed",
  "result": {
    "summary": "Analysis complete...",
    "data": {...}
  }
}

The result is automatically delivered to the active conversation session.

Anti-Loop Protection

Each message carries a hop_count in metadata. The system rejects messages with hop_count >= 3 to prevent infinite delegation loops.
