When does this happen?

IF Agent has non-empty tools and allow_delegation=True, but delegation tools (Delegate work, Ask question) are missing from composed tasks.

How others solved it

THEN Explicitly add DelegateWorkTool and AskQuestionTool to the agent's tools list, with a description that enumerates the coworker site_1 and instructs to share all context. This restores delegation functionality alongside custom tools.

DelegateWorkTool(agents=[agent1, agent2], description="Delegate a specific task to one of the following coworkers: agent1, agent2. The input should be the coworker, the task, and ALL necessary context.")
AskQuestionTool(agents=[agent1, agent2], description="Ask a question to one of the following coworkers: agent1, agent2. The input should be the coworker, the question, and ALL necessary context.")
