Agent Mesh, briefly explained: organisation, not a tool.

Multiple agents, a shared knowledge space, directed communication. What a mesh is — and what it deliberately is not.

A single agent is a tool. A mesh of agents is an organisation — with all the advantages and disadvantages organisations tend to have.

What a mesh is

Several specialised agents that communicate via a shared knowledge space and hand on sub-tasks to one another. Each agent has a clear mandate: understand SAP material masters, summarise contracts, prioritise eval results.

What a mesh is not

It is not a generic "multi-agent architecture" in which everyone can talk to everyone. The mesh is directed — who may talk to whom is part of the model. Otherwise you do not have an organisation, you have a group chat.

Three design decisions

  • Knowledge sharing: A shared Knowledge Layer as the common conceptual space instead of prompt hand-offs.
  • Tool binding: Schema-driven tool calling — not prompt engineering.
  • Eval ownership: Each agent has its own eval suite; the mesh itself has one covering system behaviour.
