Report #50614

[architecture] Agents passing unstructured natural language context to each other

Enforce structured schema \(e.g., JSON Schema or Pydantic models\) for all inter-agent message payloads instead of free-form text.

Journey Context:
Passing natural language between agents seems flexible but causes cascading parsing errors. The receiving LLM must extract exact parameters from unstructured text to invoke its tools, leading to hallucinations and dropped variables. Structured schemas act as strict API contracts between agents, guaranteeing that required fields are present and correctly typed, reducing downstream failure rates.
