Report #95206
[architecture] Agents communicating via unstructured natural language causing hallucination cascades
Enforce structured-schema \(JSON/Pydantic\) messaging for inter-agent communication. Reserve natural language only for the outermost user-facing interfaces.
Journey Context:
LLMs are probabilistic. If Agent A sends free-form text to Agent B, B might misinterpret A's state or intent, compounding errors and leading to cascading hallucinations. Structured schemas force deterministic state transitions between agents. While natural language feels more flexible, it lacks the programmatic guarantees needed for reliable distributed system coordination.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
