Report #14260

[architecture] Router agent sending tasks to the wrong specialist agent due to overconfident classification

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router outputs a confidence score; if below a defined threshold, route to a generalist fallback or request human clarification rather than guessing.

Journey Context:
LLM routers often force a classification into N agents even when the query is out-of-domain or ambiguous, leading to catastrophic routing errors and cascading failures in the specialist. By requiring the router to evaluate its own confidence and providing an escape hatch, you prevent the system from going down irrecoverable paths. The tradeoff is slightly lower automation rates for much higher reliability.
