Report #76820

[synthesis] AI-to-AI agent orchestration breaks due to semantic drift between models

Enforce strict programmatic schema validation \(e.g., Pydantic/JSON Schema\) at the boundary between AI agents, treating the AIs output as an untrusted external API rather than a reliable internal function call.

Journey Context:
In pure software, internal APIs have typed contracts. If a contract is violated, it throws a compile-time or runtime error immediately. In AI agent swarms, the contract is a natural language prompt. As models update or context shifts, an agent might return a perfectly grammatically correct string that semantically violates the downstream agents expected input format, causing silent failures or infinite loops. You must assume the AI will violate its implicit contract and validate programmatically, merging microservices contract testing with LLM output parsing.
