The maximum allowable number of nested agent-to-agent delegation steps permitted in a workflow.
Limits how far down an agent can pass responsibility to secondary subagents, preventing infinite recursion loops or unbounded subagent spawning.
Policy limits an agent's delegation depth to 2, causing attempts to spawn a tertiary subagent to be automatically denied.
Boundaries prevent agent runaway conditions and budget exhaustion.
EnterpriseACP enforces configurable delegation depth caps per risk tier.
