Report #56448

[architecture] Tasks are routed to the wrong specialized agent because the router relies on static keyword matching instead of semantic understanding and confidence scoring

Use a triage agent that outputs a structured routing decision alongside a confidence score; route low-confidence tasks to a generalist agent or human-in-the-loop rather than forcing a specialist to guess.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing rules \(e.g., 'if email contains refund -> refund\_agent'\) break when users use ambiguous language. An LLM router can understand semantics, but it will still confidently route an ambiguous edge case to the wrong specialist, causing a cascade of failures. The fix is to force the router to emit a confidence score. If the router isn't highly confident, the task should go to a generalist \(who has broader but shallower tools\) or a human. This trades a bit of initial routing latency for a massive reduction in misrouted task failures.
