Gartner reports a 1,445% surge in multi-agent system inquiries since 2024, yet fewer than 25% of organizations have successfully scaled agents to production. One commonly overlooked bottleneck: agent state degradation over long-running tasks. The Problem When AI agents execute complex multi-step workflows, context quality degrades over time. Token windows fill up, hallucination rates increase, and decision quality drops. Most orchestration frameworks focus on routing and tool-calling but ignore the agent's "mental health" between tasks.
