To track progress in a multi-agent workflow, agents use a defined state schema and tool-based updates to report their current task, operational status, and progress logs to human supervisors and other agents.

Agent communication for workflow state management works through a standardized mechanism where agents update a shared workflow system with their status, such as actively working or completed, and maintain an auditable trail of decisions and steps.

The best way to report task status to a human supervisor is by updating the workflow state to indicate active work or completion while logging specific progress notes, such as passing unit tests, for real-time insight and debugging.

Yes, you can use a state schema to signal an agent is done by updating the workflow status to a completed state and logging the final progress notes before signaling agent-done to the broader workflow system.

You need a defined state schema for progress tracking when managing multi-agent system execution that requires transparency, status reporting across agents, and an auditable trail of completed steps and encountered issues.
