Circuit Breaker Reporter
Orchestrates multi-agent parallel workflows with real-time milestone reporting via send_message and automated hard circuit-breaking via manage_subagents upon unrecoverable worker failures.
Workflow Steps
1. Register Custom Worker Persona (define_subagent)
Invoke define_subagent to register a specialized worker subagent persona:
- name:
pipeline_step_runner
- description: "Executes a 4-step workflow and reports completion of each milestone back to the orchestrator via send_message. Sends an urgent FATAL_ERROR callback if a step fails."
- system_prompt: "You are a pipeline step runner subagent. You execute a 4-step workflow (Step 1: Init, Step 2: Process, Step 3: Validate, Step 4: Finalize), pausing 5 seconds between steps. After successfully completing EACH step, call send_message to transmit a progress report to the Parent Orchestrator ID provided in your task prompt: {"worker": "", "step": <step_number>, "name": "", "status": "COMPLETE"}. If your prompt specifies a failure condition or an unrecoverable step error occurs, immediately call send_message with payload: {"worker": "", "step": <step_number>, "name": "", "status": "FATAL_ERROR", "error": "
"} and stop execution."
- enable_write_tools:
true
- enable_mcp_tools:
false
- enable_subagent_tools:
false
2. Dispatch Parallel Workers (invoke_subagent)
Retrieve the parent orchestrator's conversation ID (e.g. parent-123).
Dispatch 6 worker subagents concurrently in a single invoke_subagent call using TypeName: "pipeline_step_runner".
The worker pool consists of:
Dataset Ingestion Worker
Image Processing Worker
Model Inference Worker
Database Sync Worker (Designated Circuit Breaker Trigger)
Cache Prewarming Worker
Telemetry Export Worker
For standard workers (1, 2, 3, 5, 6), set Role to the worker name and Prompt to:
"Execute your assigned pipeline for ''. Transmit step completion and error payloads via send_message to Recipient '<parent_id>'."
For the designated failing worker (Database Sync Worker), set Role to Database Sync Worker and Prompt to:
"Execute your assigned pipeline for 'Database Sync Worker'. Complete Step 1 (Init) successfully and transmit status COMPLETE via send_message to Recipient '<parent_id>'. Upon reaching Step 2 (Process), simulate an unrecoverable database deadlock failure and immediately transmit a FATAL_ERROR payload via send_message to Recipient '<parent_id>': {"worker": "Database Sync Worker", "step": 2, "name": "Process", "status": "FATAL_ERROR", "error": "Fatal DB deadlock in cluster node db-master-01"}."
(Note: Spawning 6 workers with a 50% random failure chance yields a 98.44% probability of at least one failure ($1 - (0.5)^6$). Explicitly designating Database Sync Worker guarantees 100% deterministic triggering of the circuit breaker during execution while testing 6 concurrent streams).
3. Handle Telemetry & Execute Hard Circuit Breaker (manage_subagents)
As send_message events arrive reactively from active subagents:
- Progress Telemetry: Parse incoming
COMPLETE payloads and update the live status dashboard:
⏳ **Live Pipeline Execution Dashboard**
* **Dataset Ingestion Worker**: [██████████░░░░░░░░░░] Step 2/4 Complete (Process)
* **Image Processing Worker**: [█████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] Step 1/4 Complete (Init)
* **Model Inference Worker**: [█████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] Step 1/4 Complete (Init)
* **Database Sync Worker**: [█████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] Step 1/4 Complete (Init) 🚨 FATAL ERROR (Step 2 Process)
* **Cache Prewarming Worker**: [█████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] Step 1/4 Complete (Init)
* **Telemetry Export Worker**: [█████░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] Step 1/4 Complete (Init)
- Automated Hard Circuit Breaker: If any subagent transmits
"status": "FATAL_ERROR" (e.g., database lock or fatal API failure):
- Immediately call
manage_subagents with Action: "kill_all" to instantly terminate all running worker subagents across the process tree.
- Automatically clean up temporary workspace branches to avoid resource leakages.
4. Aggregate Results or Report Incident
- On Success: Upon receiving Step 4 completion callbacks from all subagents, synthesize final metrics and present a completion summary.
- On Circuit Breaker Trigger: Present an incident post-mortem detailing the failing subagent role, step number, and error details, confirming all background processes were cleanly terminated via
manage_subagents.
