AI Agent Routing

AI Agent Routing is the process of selecting which agent executes a given capability request. It is deterministic, rank-based, and records outcomes for learning.

Definition

Given an intent and a requested capability, routing produces a single selected agent. The decision is deterministic for the same inputs (trace, intent key, capability). Ranking uses historical success rates and latency; outcomes are recorded so future routing improves.

Why It Matters

Without routing, callers would choose agents arbitrarily. Deterministic routing ensures reproducibility and auditability. Outcome recording creates a learning loop so the best agents get more traffic.

How NexScout Implements This

NexScout implements intent capture, candidate ranking by trusted execution stats, deterministic policy-based selection, and outcome recording with optional verifiable execution receipts. Routing decisions are ledgered and idempotent.
