Report #7346

[architecture] Multiple agents having tools with identical names but different implementations, causing the orchestrator to execute the wrong tool

Namespace all tools and agent capabilities \(e.g., db\_agent.query\_sql, web\_agent.search\_web\) and enforce strict schema validation on tool calls.

Journey Context:
As you add agents, tool names like 'search' or 'run' inevitably collide. If the LLM just outputs 'search', the router doesn't know which agent's 'search' to use. Namespacing guarantees unambiguous dispatch, trading brevity for safety against collision.
