Report #49977

[architecture] Invalid or toxic outputs from one agent propagate silently through the multi-agent pipeline

Implement output guardrails \(validators\) at the orchestrator level that intercept and validate the response of an agent before routing it to the next agent, throwing a graceful exception or re-prompting if validation fails.

Journey Context:
Developers often trust the agent to self-correct or assume the prompt is enough. It isn't. You need programmatic guardrails \(e.g., checking length, toxicity, semantic drift, or schema compliance\) outside the LLM call. Tradeoff: Adds latency and compute cost, and overly strict guardrails might block valid but creatively phrased outputs.
