Report #84866

[architecture] Agent receiving a task it cannot handle due to static or keyword-based routing, leading to hallucinations

Implement confidence-aware routing where the router uses semantic similarity with a confidence threshold, or allow agents to explicitly reject and escalate tasks they are not equipped to handle.

Journey Context:
Hardcoded routing rules break when user intent is ambiguous or out-of-domain. If an agent is forced to handle a task outside its expertise, it will usually hallucinate an answer rather than admit failure. Semantic routing with confidence thresholds, combined with an agent's ability to 'reject' a task and transfer it back, prevents forced execution of out-of-scope tasks.
