Running Multiple Agents in Parallel with the OpenAI Swarm Framework

Issue: Parallel Execution of Agents

In the current implementation, when multiple tools return agents, the code enters a loop where intermediate agent executions are lost. Specifically, if more than one tool provides an agent, the context from one agent is overwritten, leading to incorrect or incomplete execution.

For instance, consider the following code from core.py:

# core.py
133             partial_response.context_variables.update(result.context_variables)
134             if result.agent:
135                 partial_response.agent = result.agent

In this case, if multiple agents are returned, such as player_agent and script_agent from a single user query like "play the song and show the script," only one of the agents will run, and the other will be dropped, as shown in the attached log.

Proposed Improvement

1. Run Agents in Parallel: To avoid losing intermediate agents, ensure that each agent executes independently and in parallel, rather than being overwritten by subsequent agents in the loop.

2. Enhance the Agent Class: Modify the Agent class to include a field that stores a list of agents, allowing it to explicitly manage and delegate tasks to other agents. This would enable the system to track and run multiple agents concurrently without conflicts.
