DENY/delegation-depth
Delegation depth exceeded
The delegation chain grew beyond the runtime's autonomy envelope.
What it means
Aarmos caps how deep sub-agents can delegate to further sub-agents. This deny fires when the chain hits the ceiling, preventing runaway agent trees.
Common causes
- Agents recursively spawning sub-agents past `MAX_DELEGATION_DEPTH`.
- Long fan-out planners that call planners.
How to fix
- Flatten the plan: collapse intermediate agents into direct tool calls.
- Raise the depth cap in policy only if the tree is intentional.
