Agent sprawl is what happens when multiple AI agents are deployed without shared structure. Teams spin up agents independently, each with its own instructions, permissions, and context. The result is duplicated work, conflicting actions, and invisible gaps between agents.
This is the most common early failure mode for organisations adopting AI. It mirrors the same problem that happens with uncoordinated human teams, just faster and harder to detect because agents do not complain or ask clarifying questions.
Nestr prevents sprawl by giving every agent a defined role within a circle structure. Agents can see each other's accountabilities, domains, and active projects. Governance proposals and the audit trail make it clear who owns what, so new agents slot into the existing structure instead of creating parallel ones.
