Faithful, Not Corrective: Message-Format Effects in Multi-Hop Agent Relays Are Tier-Dependent

A study on multi-hop agent relays reveals that message format (JSON, NL, etc.) impacts information fidelity differently based on the model's capability tier, with structured formats buying faithful rather than corrective channels.
