Report #37035

[synthesis] Agent generates tool calls with deprecated parameter names that framework fuzzy-matches to wrong current parameters, executing unintended operations

Disable fuzzy parameter matching in framework configuration; enable strict schema adherence \(e.g., OpenAI function calling strict mode\); version-lock tool schemas and reject calls with undefined properties

Journey Context:
Frameworks allow approximate matches \(e.g., mapping 'query' to 'q'\) to accommodate LLM variability. When tools evolve, fuzzy logic may map an old parameter to a semantically different new parameter \(e.g., old 'filter' → new 'sort'\). The tool executes successfully but with inverted logic. The agent receives a valid result for an unintended query and proceeds with contaminated data. Strict mode prevents this by treating parameter name mismatches as hard errors, forcing the LLM to adapt to the correct schema rather than the framework adapting the call.
