Can an agent or teams initiate (or call) a Workflow just like calling a tool?

Hi,

Can an agent or a team initiate or call a Workflow just like it calls a Tool?

If not, do you have any plan to implement this feature?

For example,

analyst_team = Team(
                name = 'financial analyst team',
                team_id = 'financial-analyst-team',
                mode = 'coordinate',
                members = [planner, analyst, writer]
                tools = [tool1, tool2, tool3],
                workflows = [workflow1, workflow2, workflow3])

This feature will be powerful if a team can do an agentic reasoning task and also initiate/call a deterministic workflow with a long-sequence of tasks or a complex task.

In the Playground UI environment, there are 3 executors: agent, team, workflow. This is quite confusing for ordinary users. Esp. it is not practical for users to choose which workflow to do a certain task. This workflow choice had better be made by the agent or the team.

Your insight or a future plan (if any) will be appreciated.

Hi @yglee.us we just merged this feature as a WorkflowToolthat an agent/team can call.
Here’s an example- agno/cookbook/workflows/_06_advanced_concepts/_06_other/workflow_tools.py at main · agno-agi/agno · GitHub

But first you will have to migrate to our 2.0 version, here’s a migration guide- Migrating to Agno v2.0 - Agno

We will release this with 2.0.3in a day or two!
Thanks alot for the feedback
