Report #24234

[architecture] Tool name collisions when merging multiple agents into a single orchestrator

Namespace all tools with the agent's identifier \(e.g., db\_agent\_query, web\_agent\_search\) before registering them with the orchestrator.

Journey Context:
When an orchestrator agent delegates to sub-agents, it often needs to know their tools. If two agents have a tool named 'search', the LLM will hallucinate which one to use. Namespacing prevents collisions and makes the orchestrator's tool-calling deterministic, ensuring the right tool maps to the right execution environment.
