Record a cross-agent handoff (internal)
Internal service-to-service endpoint (X-Internal-Token auth) the agent runtime calls the moment one specialist agent delegates a conversation to another via the transfer_to_agent tool. It persists an idempotent row in the tenant’s agent-handoff audit table and fires the agent.handoff_occurred webhook, enforcing the source agent’s handoff_targets allowlist and refusing an off-allowlist pair with 403. Use it to keep a durable, replay-safe record of A2A routing decisions.
