Report #27596
[architecture] Agents hallucinate parameters when using free-form natural language for inter-agent communication
Use structured-schema messaging \(JSON Schema/Pydantic\) for all agent-to-agent tool calls and event payloads.
Journey Context:
LLMs are great at natural language but terrible at reliably extracting exact parameters from a paragraph without hallucinating or dropping fields. Free-form leads to cascading parsing errors. Structured schemas enforce strict contracts between agents, making communication deterministic and debuggable.
