Report #27318

[synthesis] Agent drops required arguments silently due to internal schema drift

Inject the exact, current JSON schema of the tool into the system prompt at runtime on every invocation, rather than relying on a cached description or the LLM's pre-training knowledge of similar APIs.

Journey Context:
LLMs often 'remember' standard APIs \(like requests.get or subprocess.run\) and will guess arguments if the provided schema is truncated or cached. If the custom tool has slightly different arguments, the LLM will confidently pass the wrong schema. Dynamic schema injection forces zero-shot compliance. The tradeoff is increased token usage per call, but it prevents silent argument dropping which is far more expensive in terms of failed steps.
