# Agent Sessions

> Use the Paradime MCP server to start, monitor, and message DinoAI background agent sessions from any MCP-compatible client for multi-agent orchestration.

<Info>
  These tools are exposed through the **MCP server** for external MCP-compatible clients. They are not part of the Copilot or standalone-agent tool sets.
</Info>

The Background Agent Tool lets DinoAI work with background agent sessions: starting new sessions, checking their status and transcripts, and posting follow-up messages. This is what enables orchestration patterns where one agent delegates work to another.
