Report #65217

[architecture] Agent fails to call tools correctly because multiple agents injected overlapping or conflicting tool schemas into the shared context

Scope tool definitions strictly to the agent that owns them; strip tools from the system prompt/context before handing off to another agent, and use a tool registry to dynamically inject schemas only when that specific agent is active.

Journey Context:
In shared-context multi-agent setups \(like group chats\), dumping all tools for all agents into the context confuses the active LLM. It might try to use a tool it does not have permission for or with the wrong parameters. By dynamically managing the tool schema payload so only the active agent's tools are present, you reduce token usage and prevent tool-call hallucinations, ensuring clean, isolated execution boundaries.
