Report #54645

[architecture] Agents communicating via unstructured natural language strings

Enforce structured schemas \(e.g., JSON Schema, Pydantic models\) for all inter-agent messages and handoff payloads.

Journey Context:
LLMs generate natural language easily, but parsing it reliably on the receiving end is fragile. Free-form text leads to hallucinated metadata, missing parameters, and cascading extraction errors. Structured schemas guarantee that required state \(like user IDs, query parameters, or confidence scores\) is explicitly passed and validated, reducing the cognitive load on the receiving agent and preventing silent failures.
