Report #9560

[architecture] An agent starts performing tasks or using tools designated for another agent, violating system boundaries

Strictly scope tool availability per agent and enforce role boundaries in the system prompt; never expose tools to an agent that shouldn't use them.

Journey Context:
If all agents have access to all tools, the LLM might just do the work itself instead of handing off, leading to poor performance and breaking the architectural separation of concerns. Tool scoping is the primary mechanism for enforcing architectural boundaries in LLM multi-agent systems. The model cannot easily violate a boundary if the tool to do so doesn't exist in its context.
