[research] LLM model updates silently break agent tool-calling schemas, causing agents to pass invalid JSON to APIs

Build a regression eval suite specifically for tool-calling that mocks the tool execution environment. Run the exact same natural language prompts through new LLM versions and assert that the generated JSON strictly validates against the tool's JSON Schema before ever deploying the agent.

Journey Context:
LLM providers update models frequently, and a model might suddenly decide user\_id should be an integer instead of a string, or nest parameters differently. If you only eval the final text output, you miss the fact that the agent is making invalid API calls and recovering via error messages \(which wastes tokens and time\). Mocked tool-calling evals catch schema regressions at the trace level.
