COCO: Cognitive Operating System With Continuous Oversight For Multi-agent Workflow Reliability

·2025

Abstract

A critical limitation in large-scale multi-agent systems is the cascading of errors. And without intermediate verification, downstream agents exacerbate upstream inaccuracies, resulting in significant quality degradation. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf\{COCO\} (\textbf\{C\}ognitive \textbf\{O\}perating System with \textbf\{C\}ontinuous \textbf\{O\}versight), a theoretically grounded framework for asynchronous self-monitoring and adaptive error correction in multi-agent systems. COCO reconciles the fundamental tension between quality assurance and computational efficiency via a novel decoupled architecture. This design isolates error detection from the critical execution path and incorporates an automated configuration engine to minimize deployment complexity. The framework relies on three algorithmic innovations to mitigate both systematic and stochastic errors: (1) a Contextual Rollback Mechanism that leverages execution history for informed state recovery rather than naive
