CADMAS-CTX: Contextual Capability Calibration for Multi-Agent Delegation
We revisit multi-agent delegation under a stronger and more realistic assumption: an agent's capability is not fixed at the skill level, but depends on task context. A coding agent may excel at short standalone edits yet fail on long-horizon debugging; a planner may perform well on shallow tasks yet degrade on chained dependencies. Static skill-level capability profiles therefore average over heterogeneous situations and can induce systematic misdelegation. We propose CADMAS-CTX, a framework for contextual capability calibration. For each agent, skill, and coarse context bucket, CADMAS-CTX maintains a Beta posterior that captures stable experience in that part of the task space. Delegation is then made by a risk-aware score that combines the posterior mean with an uncertainty penalty, so that agents delegate only when a peer appears better and that assessment is sufficiently well supported by evidence. This paper makes three contributions. First, a hierarchical contextual capability profile replaces static skill-level confidence with context-conditioned posteriors. Second, based on contextual bandit theory, we formally prove context-aware routing achieves lower cumulative regret than static routing under sufficient context heterogeneity, formalizing the bias-variance tradeoff. Third, we empirically validate our method on GAIA and SWE-bench benchmarks. On GAIA with GPT-4o agents, CADMAS-CTX achieves 0.442 accuracy, outperforming static baseline 0.381 and AutoGen 0.354 with non-overlapping 95% confidence intervals. On SWE-bench Lite, it improves resolve rate from 22.3% to 31.4%. Ablations show the uncertainty penalty improves robustness against context tagging noise. Our results demonstrate contextual calibration and risk-aware delegation significantly improve multi-agent teamwork compared with static global skill assignments.

When Should an AI Act? A Human-Centered Model of Scene, Context, and Behavior for Agentic AI Design
Agentic AI increasingly intervenes proactively by inferring users' situations from contextual data yet often fails for lack of principled judgment about when, why, and whether to act. We address this gap by proposing a c…
