[research] Agent hallucinates invalid parameters for tools, causing the tool execution to fail with an unhandled exception

Add a pre-execution validation hook in the agent's observability layer that validates the LLM's generated tool arguments against the tool's JSON schema before attempting execution.

Journey Context:
Developers often rely on the LLM to output valid JSON, or they wrap tool execution in broad try/catch blocks. This hides the root cause \(the LLM's reasoning error\) and leads to unhelpful tool failed errors in traces. Validating against the schema pre-execution creates a clean LLM output error vs Tool execution error distinction in telemetry.
