Report #49113

[architecture] Router agent blindly delegates to the wrong specialist agent with high confidence

Require the router to output a confidence score alongside its routing choice. If confidence is below a threshold, route to a generalist agent or trigger a clarification loop with the user instead of delegating.

Journey Context:
Semantic routers often map user queries to the wrong agent because of ambiguous phrasing. Blind delegation forces the specialist to either fail or hallucinate a solution to a problem it was not designed for. By introducing confidence-aware routing with a fallback mechanism, the system gracefully degrades. The tradeoff is a slight increase in latency for ambiguous queries, but it prevents catastrophic failure modes where an agent operates entirely outside its domain.
