Use Agent Dispatch MCP tools only when the user names an external dispatch target or another skill explicitly requires dispatch. Do not use it for generic subagent, second-agent, or fresh-context requests; use the built-in subagent instead.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dispatch Agent If the MCP tools are unavailable, report the missing server; do not substitute command-line calls. 1. Call `dispatch_options`; map the requested target to `agent`, `model`, and `reasoning_effort`. Ask if ambiguous. 2. Call `dispatch_start` once with exactly one prompt source and retain its `handle` and `invocation_id`. Do not replace active work. 3. Call `dispatch_wait` with exactly one of `handle` or `invocation_id`. If it returns `running` or is interrupted, call it again with the same selector. An old `invocation_id` never follows a later continuation. On `completed`, call `dispatch_output` with artifact `final_answer` (wait also returns `result_path`). On `failed` or `cancelled`, call `dispatch_inspect` and `dispatch_output` with artifact `events` for available partial output; cancelled is not termination proof. For complete output, use the same `invocation_id` and artifact, repeating with `offset: next_offset` while `next_offset < size_bytes`. Join page `content` in order; event records may span pages. `tail: true` returns only the last page. For parallel work, call `dispatch_start` once per independent conversation and …

How to install
mdr add conn-castle/agent-layer/dispatch-agent@sha256:762eb5b67f76f9fdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.380798f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
