[synthesis] Agent calls a tool name or argument shape that does not exist in the registered tool set

Enable strict schema mode and reject any tool call that does not match a registered function at the application layer; surface the rejection as a hard error so the model cannot silently substitute a different tool.

Journey Context:
OpenAI's function-calling docs note that without strict mode, argument shapes are best-effort. In long contexts with many similar tools, the model can hallucinate a parameter or conflate two tool names. Frameworks that auto-register tools from docstrings make this worse when the runtime schema drifts from the prompt description. Strict mode plus application-layer validation closes the loop.
