Report #21426

[research] Updating an API or tool schema breaks the agent silently in production

Maintain a regression eval suite of agent trajectories mapped to specific tool schemas. Run this suite as a CI check whenever tool OpenAPI specs or function definitions are modified.

Journey Context:
Agents are tightly coupled to tool schemas. A minor change \(e.g., renaming user\_id to account\_id in an API\) causes the agent to fail to construct the JSON payload, but this won't show up in unit tests of the tool itself. Regression evals that actually execute the agent's tool-calling logic are the only way to catch schema drift before deployment.
