Definition
It acts as the backbone for multi-agent systems, providing tools for orchestration, monitoring, and inter-agent coordination. The harness ensures that agents can operate efficiently without interfering with each other, handling tasks like message passing, state management, and error recovery. This abstraction allows developers to build complex applications composed of specialized agents, such as those used in automated customer service or supply chain optimization, by standardizing how agents interact with the environment and each other.
Summary
