OpenHands
The agent-handoff engine. OpenHands defines the discipline for passing work from one agent to another so that context, provenance and authority survive the handoff, and no delegated action executes without passing a delegation check.
What it does
When work moves between agents it tends to shed exactly what governance needs: who authorized it, on what evidence, and under which limits. OpenHands makes the handoff itself a governed step. Before one agent can hand an action to another, the request passes a delegation check, and the decision is recorded.
A low-confidence request is denied. An ambiguous one is escalated to a human. A sound one is allowed, with a reproducible log entry. Delegation stays accountable no matter how many agents it crosses.
How it works
Every handoff runs through an ordered set of checks before it can proceed, the same filter that governs production delegation.
The check returns one of three dispositions and names the stage that decided it, so the outcome is never a black box.
Each handoff records a log entry derived from the request, so a decision can be replayed and audited later.
Run it live
Describe a handoff from one agent to another and the engine runs the live delegation check, returning allow, deny or escalate and naming the stage that decided it. Try a confidence of 0.4 to see a denial, or add two alternatives to see an escalation.
Select Evaluate the handoff to call the live engine. Try confidence 0.4 (denies), or 2 alternatives (escalates).
Runs against the live ETHRAEON engine and returns a real decision.
