Report #47285

[research] Agent passes hallucinated or malformed arguments to tools, causing runtime exceptions

Evaluate and enforce strict JSON Schema validation on tool arguments before execution, and log schema validation failures as a distinct telemetry span event.

Journey Context:
LLMs frequently invent parameters or pass wrong types \(e.g., string 'true' instead of boolean true\). If you just try to execute the tool, it crashes ungracefully. By injecting a schema validation step \(using Pydantic/Zod\) between the LLM output and tool execution, you turn a vague runtime error into a precise, catchable eval failure. Tracking this metric tells you if your function docstrings are confusing the model.
