Context Engineering for Multi-Agent Systems
By :
The system we have built so far is a functional prototype; it works when everything goes according to plan. But in the real world, things rarely go to plan. APIs can fail, messages can be malformed, and agents can return idx_4c7188b5unexpected results. We must improve our system against these potential failures before we even consider it robust.
In this section, we will upgrade our simple script into a more resilient system. We’ll add error handling to our API calls, create a validator to ensure MCP messages are well formed, and teach the Orchestrator how to keep the workflow running even when an agent fails or produces flawed output.
For this section, we’ll be working in the MAS_MCP_control.ipynb notebook, which contains the full implementation. We’ll focus on two core engineering principles, resilience and reliability:
