What a Blueprint looks like

The Identified Failure

Context collapse detected between the Data Retrieval Agent and the Synthesis Agent. The orchestrator is passing raw JSON without schema validation, causing the Synthesis Agent to hallucinate missing fields in 40% of iterations.

Architectural Root Cause

The orchestrator assumes uniform data structures across APIs. When API #3 returns a nested array instead of a flat object, the prompt chain breaks, triggering an infinite retry loop that burns API credits.

The Blueprint (Mitigation)

• Implement a strict Zod schema validation step before the handoff.
• If validation fails, route the payload to a dedicated Formatting Agent, rather than retrying the Retrieval Agent.
• Limit total loop iterations to 3 to prevent runaway token usage.
