[synthesis] Agent confidently hallucinates API parameters leading to silent wrong actions

Enforce strict JSON Schema validation on agent tool call arguments before execution. If validation fails, return the schema error to the agent immediately rather than attempting the call with default or coerced values.

Journey Context:
LLMs invent parameters that sound plausible. If the tool execution layer silently ignores unknown parameters or coerces types, the agent will execute an action that doesn't do what it intended, leading to a cascade of wrong assumptions. Failing fast with the exact schema violation forces the agent to correct its reasoning.
