Monolithic Task

A monolithic task is one where a single agent is responsible for handling a complex goal from start to finish.

Why it matters: While simple to assign initially, monolithic tasks are fragile and hard to debug. A single error can cause the entire task to fail, and they are difficult to parallelize or retry efficiently.
