When does this happen?
IF When an agent has both non-empty tools and allow_delegation=True, the delegation tool descriptions ('Delegate work to coworker', 'Ask question to coworker') are absent from the agent's composed tasks.
How others solved it
THEN Import DelegateWorkTool and AskQuestionTool from crewai.tools.agent_tools. Add both tools to the agent's tools list with descriptions that include the actual coworker agent names and instruct the LLM to share all necessary context. For example: DelegateWorkTool(site_1=[self.agent1(), self.agent2()], description='Delegate a specific task to one of the following coworkers: agent1, agent2...').
from crewai.tools.agent_tools.ask_question_tool import AskQuestionTool
from crewai.tools.agent_tools.delegate_work_tool import DelegateWorkTool
agent = Agent(
config=self.agents_config["agent_manager"],
tools=[
DoSomethingTool(),
DoAnotherThingTool(),
DelegateWorkTool(
agents=[self.agent1(), self.agent2()],
description="Delegate a specific task to one of the following coworkers: agent1, agent2..."
),
AskQuestionTool(
agents=[self.agent1(), self.agent2()],
description="Ask a specific question to one of the following coworkers: agent1, agent2..."
),
],
