Report #98509

[architecture] An agent's system prompt or tool schemas leak through another agent's output

Strip system prompts, tool schemas, internal reasoning, and private context from any message that crosses an agent boundary; pass only the task data the consumer needs.

Journey Context:
Developers often dump the whole conversation history into the next agent's context for continuity. That leaks prompts, tool names, and internal reasoning to agents that do not need them and potentially to users. The principle is least privilege: each handoff gets a minimal, sanitized context. The tradeoff is some loss of conversational continuity, which you can recover with explicit, curated state summaries.
