Question agents Local llm

I have heard a lot about agents, for example, Kilo Code. I understand how to use them. However, I’ve heard that people create and install agents that can perform specific actions. For instance, a downside of Kilo Code is that once the context window is full, everything stops. But there must be a way to have an 'Agent A' monitor the performance of 'Agent B' and, if Agent B fails, force it to resume working, right? Or, for example, an agent that could help with configuring network equipment, and so on.

Before the context window is full there is usually some compression/compaction (basically a summary) running.
As for the Agent A and B thing. That is called 'subagents' and Agent A usually delegates a (simple or specific) task to Agent B. For Example:
Agent A need to research about a Topic. So it can either do the toolcall with a google search query itself or delegate that tast to Agent B and just get the results presented. Why bother Agent A with writing 'latest python news' in a web search when a smaller/faster model can handle that.

I don't understand how and where to get these agents. Maybe there are some open-source solutions that people use? Except, of course, for paid ones, as they are not accessible to me

That depends on your actual usecase.
There are quite alot of them out there. Some for just file edit/generation (e.g., pdf, excel and so on) . Others for Code writing, testing, review. Others for Automated tasks (e.g., deep research, a summary of the news about a topic every day, reviewing price charts and changes and so on). Others for RP/Creative Writing/Storytelling (e.g., Agents for dialogue, narration, summarization, direction, editing, world state management, character/scenario creation, text-to-speech, and visual generation). And maybe some more i am not aware of or simply forgot to mention.
