[agent\_craft] Tool failures send the agent into loops or cause argument corruption

Return tool errors as a structured object with tool name, arguments, error type, concise message, and a suggested retry action. Keep the error message under 200 tokens and preserve valid argument context.

Journey Context:
Raw stderr or stack traces overload the model and shift focus to irrelevant details. A structured error with a suggested fix turns the failure into a recoverable state. Without a suggested retry path, the model often repeats the failing call.
