Report #50995

[architecture] Agents failing to parse instructions from other agents due to unstructured text

Enforce structured schema \(JSON\) for inter-agent messaging, keeping natural language strictly within designated payload fields.

Journey Context:
LLMs default to chatty natural language. When an agent sends a message to another agent, the receiving agent must parse intent and parameters. Free-form text leads to hallucinated parameters or missed instructions. JSON schema acts as a contract, making routing and execution deterministic, while keeping natural language confined to a designated field preserves semantic richness.
