Report #37976

[synthesis] Agent generates invalid JSON or arguments for tool call after multiple conversational turns

Inject the exact JSON schema of the required tool call into the system prompt or immediate preceding turn, rather than relying on the agent's parametric memory of the schema from the beginning of the conversation.

Journey Context:
Even with function calling, long conversations cause agents to 'forget' exact parameter names or required fields, especially if they've been handling similar but slightly different data structures. They might output \{'file\_path': '...'\} when the schema strictly requires \{'path': '...'\}. This causes a silent failure or a retry loop. Providing the schema dynamically right before the call \(just-in-time schema injection\) ensures the model's attention mechanism focuses on the exact structure, eliminating schema drift at the cost of a few extra tokens per turn.
