Report #103668

[synthesis] Tool call parameters drift across turns until the call no longer matches the schema

Canonicalize and validate every tool-call payload against the registered schema with a strict validator before issuing the call, not after the model emits it.

Journey Context:
Function-calling docs show schemas and the MCP spec defines tool registration, but neither treats schemas as runtime contracts. The synthesis is that schemas are treated as prompts, not as code-level contracts. Over multiple turns the model subtly changes field names, nests objects differently, or invents parameters. A strict validator at the boundary makes the schema enforceable and forces correct output or explicit refusal.
