Report #53738

[architecture] Multiple agents defining tools with the same name but different implementations causing unpredictable execution

Namespace all tools strictly by agent identity \(e.g., db\_agent.query\_sql\) and resolve tool calls at the orchestration layer before execution.

Journey Context:
When dynamically composing agents, you might merge two agents that both have a run\_code tool. The LLM might call run\_code, but the runtime doesn't know which agent's sandbox to use, leading to shadowing or permission errors. Namespacing tools by agent identity ensures unambiguous dispatch. The orchestrator must map the LLM's requested tool to the exact agent's implementation before executing the function.
