Report #42799

[architecture] Agent hallucinates invalid or dangerous arguments for a tool call, which is blindly executed by the runtime

Apply strict pre-execution validation \(e.g., Pydantic validators or JSON Schema\) on the generated tool call arguments. If validation fails, return the error message to the agent for self-correction rather than executing the tool.

Journey Context:
LLMs frequently generate syntactically correct but semantically invalid tool calls \(e.g., passing a future date, a negative quantity, or an unauthorized user ID\). Blindly executing these leads to downstream API errors or data corruption. Validating the LLM's output before the actual tool execution treats the LLM as an untrusted actor, enforcing a hard contract at the agent-tool boundary.
