Report #12643

[architecture] Agents hallucinate parameters when using free-form natural language for inter-agent communication

Enforce structured-schema messaging \(e.g., JSON Schema\) for all inter-agent RPCs and events. Use natural language only for final user output or internal chain-of-thought.

Journey Context:
LLMs generate natural language easily, but when Agent A calls Agent B's tools, free-form text leads to missing arguments, type errors, and parsing failures. Structured schemas force the LLM to generate machine-readable payloads. Tradeoff: slightly higher token cost for schema definitions, but massive reduction in parsing errors and infinite loops caused by malformed messages.
