When does this happen?
IF When using create_supervisor with create_react_agent sub-site_1, the first call to transfer_back_to_supervisor may fail with 'not a valid tool' error due to a race condition in tool registration.
How others solved it
THEN Implement a retry mechanism for tool calls in the supervisor handoff, or ensure that the supervisor's system prompt and tool list are fully initialized before any sub-agent completes. A simple approach is to catch the error and retry the transfer tool call once after a short delay.
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_fixed
@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3), wait=wait_fixed(0.5))
def safe_transfer_back(supervisor, invoke_input):
