What is agent fan-out?
Agent fan-out is running many agents in parallel — one per task, tool, or user — instead of sequentially. A coordinator 'fans out' the work across specialist agents at once, then gathers the results. It's what lets a system watch a whole stack (or serve many users) without waiting on each step in turn.

The alternative — checking each source one after another — is slow and doesn't scale. Fan-out runs the specialists concurrently, so total time tracks the slowest single agent rather than the sum of all of them.
In Foundry, the platform fans out across your connected tools each run: every specialist agent executes in parallel, and the master gathers their findings for the daily briefing.
FAQ
- Why does fan-out matter for a founder tool?
- Because you run on many tools. Fan-out means all of them get watched in one pass, quickly, so your briefing is ready in the morning instead of grinding through sources one at a time.
