[synthesis] Agent hallucinates parameters for dynamically loaded tools it has never seen before

When dynamically loading a new tool, force the agent to first output a tool understanding step where it paraphrases the tool's schema and constraints before generating the execution JSON.

Journey Context:
When an agent searches a tool registry and pulls a new API spec, it often immediately attempts to call it. The LLM relies on its pre-training for common API patterns \(e.g., assuming a limit parameter exists\). If the dynamic tool uses max\_items, the call fails. Forcing the agent to read and paraphrase the schema shifts it from pattern-matching to actual comprehension of the provided spec.
