Teams now support four distinct execution modes (coordinate, route, broadcast, and tasks), giving you explicit control over how agents collaborate. Instead of building custom orchestration logic, you select the mode that matches your use case: route requests to a specialist, coordinate across multiple agents, broadcast to all members in parallel, or decompose work into discrete tasks.

This reduces orchestration boilerplate, makes team behavior predictable and auditable, and lets you switch strategies without rewriting agent logic.

Details:

- Coordinate mode lets a lead agent delegate and synthesize across team members
- Route mode directs each request to the best-fit agent based on the task
- Broadcast sends the same input to all members and collects parallel responses
- Tasks mode decomposes work into discrete, trackable units assigned to individual agents
- Configured via the TeamMode parameter when defining a team
