Agents in one knowledge base can delegate to agents in another knowledge base within the same tenant. This lets you build specialized knowledge bases once and reuse them everywhere: a general agent can hand a question to a domain expert agent and fold its answer into its own reply. Crucially, delegation shares answers, not access. The calling agent only ever receives the other agent’s final answer — never raw access to the other knowledge base’s documents. Each knowledge base keeps its private corpus private. See Agent delegation for how delegation works end to end.

​
Inbound delegation

Sharing is controlled on the knowledge base being called, with a single setting:
​
boolean
default:"enabled"
When enabled, agents in other knowledge bases (within the same tenant) may use this knowledge base’s agents as delegates. Enabled by default.
Turning inbound delegation off stops other knowledge bases’ agents from reaching this knowledge base’s agents. It does not restrict this knowledge base’s own agents — they can still delegate out to any knowledge base that allows inbound delegation.

​
How it behaves

Answers only

A delegating agent receives the final answer from the agent it called. The underlying documents of the other knowledge base are never exposed.

Clearly labeled

Cross-knowledge-base delegates are visibly labeled to the agent, so it is always clear when an answer came from another knowledge base.

​
Choosing a setting

Leave inbound delegation on for internal knowledge bases you want to be reusable across your organization — shared references, product docs, policy libraries. Turn it off for sensitive knowledge bases you do not want other teams’ agents reaching. Because the setting only governs inbound calls, switching it off never limits that knowledge base’s own agents from delegating outward.
Agent sharing works only within a single tenant. Agents can never delegate across tenant boundaries, so your customers’ knowledge bases stay fully isolated from one another.
