Report #93201

[architecture] Multiple agents expose tools with identical names or overlapping signatures, causing the orchestrator to call the wrong tool

Namespace all tools strictly by agent \(e.g., \`db\_agent.query\_sql\` vs \`web\_agent.query\_api\`\) and dynamically filter the tool list so only the currently active agent's tools are visible to the LLM.

Journey Context:
In a flat tool registry, \`search\` might mean a codebase search to one agent and a web search to another. Even with namespacing, if all tools are presented in the system prompt simultaneously, the LLM often ignores the prefix and calls the wrong tool based on semantic similarity. The fix requires dynamic tool injection: when an agent is activated, its toolset replaces the previous agent's toolset in the API call. This eliminates cross-contamination entirely.
