Report #6973

[architecture] Multiple agents sharing a tool namespace causes the LLM to call the wrong agent's tool

Namespace all tools with agent-specific prefixes \(e.g., python\_exec\_run, bash\_exec\_run\) before injecting them into the agent's context.

Journey Context:
When orchestrators merge tools from multiple agents into a single LLM call, the LLM struggles to disambiguate tools with similar names or descriptions \(e.g., two different 'search' tools\). This leads to cross-agent tool hallucination. Namespacing forces the LLM to explicitly select the correct agent's implementation.
