Report #24882
[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents blindly based on keyword matching, causing a specialist to attempt a task it cannot handle
Implement a triage agent that requests a confidence score or uses an embedding-based semantic router to dispatch tasks, with a fallback to a generalist agent.
Journey Context:
Hard routing \(if X, send to Y\) breaks when the input is ambiguous. A specialist agent lacks the broad context to gracefully fail and hand back. The router must evaluate confidence. Tradeoff: adds an extra LLM call for routing, but saves the massive cost of a specialist agent spiraling into hallucinated retries.
