Different models excel at different tasks. GPT handles reasoning and tool use well. Claude writes better prose. Specialized models exist for code, math, and domain-specific work. Handoffs let agents route subtasks to the right model. If you’ve already built an MCP + tools workflow, handoffs let you keep a fast “coordinator” model most of the time and route to stronger models only when needed.

When to Use Handoffs

Handoffs shine when a task has distinct phases requiring different capabilities:
  • Research → Writing: GPT gathers information, Claude writes the final piece
  • Analysis → Code: A reasoning model plans the approach, a code model implements it
  • Triage → Specialist: A general model routes to domain-specific models
For simple tasks where one model handles everything, stick to a single model.
