[BUG] Some bug when I try flow agent inside chat agent.

[xinyual]

What is the bug?
Environment:
Opensearch Core + ml-commons main branch + skills

Flow Agent body:

{
  "name": "Test_Agent_For_RAG_2",
  "type": "flow",
  "description": "Use this tool to transfer natural language to generate PPL and execute PPL to query inside. This tool will select index by itself. The input parameters are: {'question':UserQuestion}",

        "prompt": "\n\nHuman:Please try to extract index name from my question. Only return index name when it is very clear like 'The index name is ...', 'inside the index ...' or. 'under index ..', otherwise, return empty\n\nHere are some examples.\nE.g.1 \nQuestion: How many employees with name john?\nAnswer: \n\ne.g.2\nQuestion: How many employees with name john inside my index 'employee-3'?\nAnswer: employee-3\n\nNow is my question:${parameters.question}   Answer:\n\nAssistant:"
      }
    },

      "description": "Use this tool to transfer natural language to generate PPL and execute PPL to query inside. Use this tool after you know the index name, otherwise, call IndexRoutingTool first. The input parameters are: {index:IndexName, question:UserQuestion}",
      "parameters": {
        "model_id": "vfQQS40Bmw1gmWNTOEN3"
      }
    }
  ]
}

chat agent body:

{
  "name": "Root agent-4",
  "type": "conversational", 
  "description": "this is a test agent",
  "llm": {
    "model_id": "vfQQS40Bmw1gmWNTOEN3",

      },

    }
  ],
  "app_type": "my app"
}

1. Some bug needs to be fixed when passing arguments to flow agent
2. After fix this, get

com.google.gson.JsonIOException: Failed making field 'java.nio.ByteBuffer#hb' accessible; either increase its visibility or write a custom TypeAdapter for its declaring type.

It seems from

ml-commons/ml-algorithms/src/main/java/org/opensearch/ml/engine/algorithms/agent/MLChatAgentRunner.java

Line 529 in 1a436fe

: AccessController.doPrivileged((PrivilegedExceptionAction<String>) () -> gson.toJson(output));

After create a function to extract string value from output, it raise

java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.opensearch.ml.common.output.model.ModelTensorOutput cannot be cast to class java.lang.String (org.opensearch.ml.common.output.model.ModelTensorOutput is in unnamed module of loader java.net.FactoryURLClassLoader @6f38f084; java.lang.String is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')
 at org.opensearch.ml.engine.algorithms.agent.MLChatAgentRunner.lambda$runReAct$7(MLChatAgentRunner.java:568) ~[?:?]

Seems here

ml-commons/ml-algorithms/src/main/java/org/opensearch/ml/engine/algorithms/agent/MLChatAgentRunner.java

Line 570 in 1a436fe

.response((String) output)

Also use the previous function to extract string value.
Then I find the prompt we send to LLM is

We need to also use string value in the following two lines:

ml-commons/ml-algorithms/src/main/java/org/opensearch/ml/engine/algorithms/agent/MLChatAgentRunner.java

Line 558 in 1a436fe

ImmutableMap.of("observation", output),

ml-commons/ml-algorithms/src/main/java/org/opensearch/ml/engine/algorithms/agent/MLChatAgentRunner.java

Line 549 in 1a436fe

.dataAsMap(ImmutableMap.of("response", lastThought.get() + "\nObservation: " + output))

How can one reproduce the bug?
Install plugins: ml-commons + skills
Register body like above.
Call agent:
How many employees with first name john?
