Report #80205

[architecture] Agents hallucinate parameters when passing context via free-form natural language

Use structured JSON schema for inter-agent messaging and handoffs; enforce schema validation at the receiver before executing logic.

Journey Context:
LLMs naturally default to conversational text, but free-form messages between agents lead to dropped variables, misinterpreted intents, and cascading hallucinations. While natural language is robust to typos, it lacks the strict contract needed for programmatic routing. Structured schemas force the emitting agent to serialize state completely and the receiving agent to parse it deterministically, trading flexibility for reliability and preventing silent data loss in transit.
