Report #44667

[frontier] Static tool schemas force agents to work with one-size-fits-all tools that don't match the specific task context

Generate tool schemas Just-In-Time \(JIT\) at runtime: use a lightweight LLM call to generate a tailored JSON schema \(parameters, descriptions, types\) based on the current user intent, then immediately register and call it

Journey Context:
Standard tool use relies on pre-defined static schemas. This creates impedance mismatch: the tool is too generic \(takes a 'query' string\) when the agent needs something specific \('search\_github\_issue\_by\_label'\). The frontier pattern is 'dynamic tool synthesis': when the agent encounters a novel task, it prompts a small model to generate a bespoke tool schema \(with precise parameters for that specific task\), registers it with the framework \(OpenAI function calling, MCP\), and executes it. Tradeoff: latency increases by one LLM call, but precision and success rate improve dramatically for complex, specific tasks.
