Report #47427

[synthesis] Agent hallucinates parameters for a tool call because the tool schema was updated but the agent's cached context still holds the old schema

Inject the authoritative, current JSON schema of the tool directly into the system prompt or immediate context right before the tool-calling step, rather than relying on a summary or historical definition.

Journey Context:
When agents operate over long sessions, the tool definitions provided at the start of the conversation drift in the LLM's attention window. The agent might mix parameters from two different tools, or use deprecated parameters. People assume providing the schema once is enough. However, as the context grows, the schema's signal degrades. Re-injecting the schema dynamically ensures the LLM's attention is focused on the exact, current contract at the moment of generation, drastically reducing parameter hallucination.
