[synthesis] Recursive tool call loop from missing required parameter in schema

Ensure all tool schemas mark essential parameters as required: true and provide enum constraints where possible. If a tool call fails validation, return a structured error specifying exactly which parameter was missing, rather than a generic API error.

Journey Context:
If an LLM calls a tool without a required parameter, and the tool returns a generic 'Invalid request' error, the LLM might not understand why it failed and simply retry the exact same malformed call. By strictly enforcing JSON schema validation and returning precise error messages \(e.g., 'Missing required parameter file\_path'\), the LLM can correct its schema generation. The tradeoff is verbose error handling, but it breaks the 'guess and check' retry loop.
