Report #83122

[architecture] Agents fail to select the correct tool because multiple agents expose identically named functions \(e.g., both expose run\_code\)

Namespace all tool schemas with the agent's domain \(e.g., python\_repl.run\_code vs node\_repl.run\_code\) before injecting them into the orchestrator's context.

Journey Context:
When an orchestrator aggregates tools from multiple sub-agents, name collisions are inevitable. The LLM will arbitrarily pick one, leading to execution in the wrong environment. Renaming tools at the orchestration layer ensures uniqueness, but you must also update the tool descriptions to reflect the namespace so the LLM understands the semantic difference.
