hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix Question: Why delegation limits are enforced at both tool-call count and batch task count [1 participants]

TL;DR

The design rationale behind delegation limits in the codebase is being questioned, and clarification is needed on the intended use of max_concurrent_children in limiting delegate task calls and tasks within those calls.

Guidance

• Review the codebase to confirm if the max_concurrent_children limit is intentionally applied to both the number of delegate_task calls and the number of tasks within a single call.
• Investigate the product or architecture requirements that led to the implementation of these limits to understand the design rationale.
• Consider the implications of using max_concurrent_children in both contexts, including the potential for up to max_children * max_children child agents in a single turn.
• Evaluate the performance and scalability differences between using a single delegate_task call with batched tasks versus multiple delegate_task calls for parallel work.

Notes

The issue lacks specific information about the product or architecture requirements that drove the design decisions, making it difficult to provide a definitive answer.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by carefully evaluating the use of max_concurrent_children in the codebase and considering alternative approaches to limiting delegate task calls and tasks, such as using separate configuration values for each limit.
