Report #43219

[synthesis] Agent generates syntactically valid JSON that violates actual API constraints after 3\+ tool iterations

Inject live schema validation between reasoning and execution, rejecting invalid calls before they execute with explicit 'schema mismatch' feedback loop that forces the agent to regenerate against the actual schema

Journey Context:
Static examples in prompts become stale as APIs evolve; dynamic schema fetching prevents drift but increases latency. The critical failure mode is silent because the JSON is syntactically valid—only semantic validation against the live schema catches it. Simply retrying without explicit schema feedback leads to repeated identical errors; the fix requires surfacing the specific validation error \(e.g., 'enum value X not in allowed set \[A,B,C\]'\) back to the agent's reasoning context.
