Report #92161

[architecture] Agents failing to parse each other's outputs or hallucinating parameters during handoffs

Enforce structured schema \(e.g., JSON Schema, Pydantic models\) for all inter-agent messaging and handoff payloads. Never use free-form natural language for agent-to-agent communication.

Journey Context:
LLMs naturally ramble or omit required parameters in free-form text. When an agent receives free-form text, it must parse it with its own LLM call, risking hallucination or missing data. Structured schemas force the emitting agent to output valid, machine-parseable data, making handoffs deterministic and preventing cascading parsing errors.
