A procurement system uses one supervisor agent that receives a purchase request, sends pricing questions to a catalog agent and compliance questions to a policy agent, then merges their answers. What is the primary advantage of this arrangement?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D
A supervisor pattern separates responsibilities: specialists handle catalog and policy questions, while the supervisor decides which one to call and merges their results. That control makes the system easier to build and improve piece by piece. The pattern does not guarantee correctness, remove testing, or eliminate tools.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. No orchestration pattern guarantees correct answers. The supervisor can still merge a wrong specialist result into the reply.
- B. Specialists still need testing, and the supervisor still needs evaluation. The pattern makes evaluation more targeted, not unnecessary.
- C. The specialists rely on the catalog and policy tools to do their work. The supervisor coordinates them and does not replace them.
