When your orchestrator delegates a task to a subagent, it passes context, instructions, and - unless you've thought carefully about this - implicitly delegates authority too. That authority is ungoverned in most systems today. This is the multi-agent governance blind spot. It's not the agents themselves. It's the space between them. According to Salesforce's 2026 Connectivity Benchmark Report, organizations currently run an average of 12 AI agents - with that number projected to climb 67% within two years.
