Can Microsoft Frontier Program Copilot Cowork Agent Delegate Tasks to Other Copilot Agents?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently exploring the capabilities of Copilot Cowork that is available through the Microsoft Frontier Program, and I'm trying to understand whether a multi-agent orchestration pattern is officially supported.

My Use Case

I want users to interact with only a single, central Copilot Cowork agent.

For example:

  1. User asks the Cowork agent to create or update a Jira ticket.
  2. Instead of Cowork handling the Jira operation directly, it delegates or hands off the task to a dedicated Jira Copilot Agent.
  3. The Jira agent performs the required actions and returns the result.
  4. The Cowork agent then presents the final response back to the user.

Similarly, I would like to have specialized agents for:

  • Jira
  • ServiceNow
  • Knowledge Management
  • HR Operations
  • Internal IT Support
  • Other business systems

The goal is to have Cowork act as an intelligent orchestrator/router while specialized agents handle domain-specific operations.

Questions

  1. Is agent-to-agent delegation or handoff officially supported in Copilot Cowork (Frontier Program)?
  2. Can Cowork directly invoke another Copilot Studio agent?
  3. Is there any built-in multi-agent orchestration framework available today?
  4. If this is supported, what is the recommended architecture and implementation process?
  5. If it is not currently supported, what workarounds are people using?
    • Power Automate?
    • Agent as a tool/action?
    • Custom APIs?
    • Azure AI Foundry / Azure AI Agent Service?
    • Other approaches?

I'm specifically looking for guidance from anyone who has worked with Copilot Cowork in the Frontier Program, since the documentation and public examples seem to focus mostly on standalone agents.

Any insights, architecture diagrams, documentation links, or real-world experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
