Report #46043

[synthesis] LLM agent adds extra or verbose keys to tool JSON payloads without throwing errors

Implement strict schema validation not just for the required structure, but for unexpected keys in agent-generated tool arguments. Alert on schema strictness deviation.

Journey Context:
Most tool-execution frameworks silently ignore extra parameters passed by the LLM if the required ones are present. An agent passing unnecessary context in a payload doesn't fail, but it indicates the agent is leaking internal reasoning into the API payload. This is a leading indicator of prompt instruction decay. You only notice it if you diff the actual LLM output schema against the strict minimum required schema.
