Report #54652

[architecture] Routing tasks to specialized agents without evaluating the primary agent's confidence or capability match

Implement confidence scoring or explicit capability-matching functions before initiating an agent handoff.

Journey Context:
A generalist agent might blindly attempt a task, fail, and then hand off to a specialist, wasting time and tokens. Alternatively, it might hand off prematurely. By requiring the agent to output a structured confidence score or invoke a specific transfer function only when explicit conditions are met, the orchestrator can route deterministically or abort early, preventing cascading failures and latency.
