A routing misconfig let a support agent broadcast fake payment incidents to execs

A platform lead recounts a real multi-agent incident: after deploying an "interop shim" to let finance, support, and ops agent stacks communicate, a misconfigured routing rule let the support escalation agent consume finance-agent events and broadcast payment-intent notes into the exec incident-triage channel.
Three vendor-negotiation tickets got tagged as "payment failure" and the CFO joined a nonexistent incident.
The takeaway: cross-team agent interop needs strict governance and routing isolation by default — one misconfig can deliver untrusted context straight to decision-makers and destroy trust in the whole architecture overnight.
