Report #13330

[agent\_craft] Agent produces repetitive plans but hallucinates tool parameters, or creative plans with rigid execution

Schedule temperature: high \(0.7-0.9\) for planning/brainstorming phases, low \(0.0-0.2\) for tool parameter generation and final output formatting

Journey Context:
Using a single temperature for an entire agent loop creates a fundamental tension: high temperature needed for creative planning causes hallucinated JSON schemas and parameter values; low temperature needed for reliable tool calls produces rigid, repetitive planning that misses edge cases. We implemented temperature scheduling based on phase: planning \(high\), tool-selection \(medium\), parameter-generation \(low\). This reduced parameter hallucinations by 60% while maintaining plan diversity. Critical: never use high temperature when generating JSON tool arguments—models will invent enum values.
