Report #30314

[synthesis] Agent silently ignores required tool parameters after API or model updates

Implement strict schema validation on agent outputs \(tool calls\) before execution, and track the delta between model version updates and tool call validation failure rates.

Journey Context:
When providers update models, the model might change how strictly it adheres to JSON schemas. It might drop optional fields or hallucinate new ones. The tool executes, but with degraded functionality \(e.g., missing a filter, returning too much data\). It doesn't throw an API error, just a logic error. Tracking JSON schema validation failures on the agent's tool call JSON is the leading indicator.
