Report #95410

[architecture] Router agent dispatching tasks to the wrong specialized agent, creating dead ends or hallucinations

Include a confidence threshold in the routing agent's output. If confidence is below the threshold, route to a generalist fallback agent or back to the user.

Journey Context:
Classifier/routing LLMs will always output a category, even for out-of-domain queries, forcing a specialized agent into a task it cannot handle. The specialist then hallucinates or fails silently. Implementing a confidence threshold ensures that ambiguous queries are handled by a generalist with broader capabilities or clarified with the user, preventing cascading failures down the wrong pipeline.
