You can easily build hierarchical multi-agent systems with `smolagents`.

To do so, encapsulate the agent in a [`ManagedAgent`] object. This object needs arguments `agent`, `name`, and a `description`, which will then be embedded in the manager agent's system prompt to let it know how to call this managed agent, as we also do for tools.
To create a managed agent, give your `CodeAgent` or `ToolCallingAgent` the attributes `name` and `description` - these are mandatory to make the agent callable by its manager agent. The manager agent will receive the managed agent via its managed_agents argument during initialization.

Here's an example of making an agent that managed a specific web search agent using our [`DuckDuckGoSearchTool`]:

```py
from smolagents import CodeAgent, HfApiModel, DuckDuckGoSearchTool, ManagedAgent
from smolagents import CodeAgent, HfApiModel, DuckDuckGoSearchTool, ToolCallingAgent

model = HfApiModel()

web_agent = CodeAgent(tools=[DuckDuckGoSearchTool()], model=model)

managed_web_agent = ManagedAgent(
agent=web_agent,
managed_web_agent = CodeAgent(
tools=[DuckDuckGoSearchTool()],
model=model,
name="web_search",
description="Runs web searches for you. Give it your query as an argument."
)
