Report #26889

[architecture] Registering the same tool name with different schemas across multiple agents

Namespace all tools and schemas by agent or domain \(e.g., db\_agent\_query\_sql vs web\_agent\_query\_api\) to guarantee unambiguous function resolution.

Journey Context:
As systems scale, tool names collide \(e.g., search, query\). If the orchestrator or LLM sees two search tools, it hallucinates which one to use. Namespacing prevents collisions, clarifies intent, and ensures the correct agent's implementation is triggered.
