Report #71962

[architecture] Misrouting ambiguous user queries to the wrong specialist agent, causing cascading failures

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router agent outputs a confidence score alongside the route. If confidence is below a threshold, route to a generalist agent or prompt the user for clarification.

Journey Context:
Hard-coded routing \(e.g., keyword matching\) fails on ambiguous queries. LLM routers can confidently misroute, sending a coding query to a billing agent. Adding a confidence threshold prevents cascading failures where a specialist tries to handle a task outside its domain and hallucinates a response. The generalist acts as a safe fallback.
