Report #47950

[gotcha] Type confusion from unvalidated LLM tool arguments

Always validate the LLM's generated tool call arguments against the schema using a strict validator \(e.g., jsonschema\) before execution, and handle validation errors gracefully.

Journey Context:
LLMs frequently output malformed JSON, missing required fields, or incorrect types \(e.g., a string 'true' instead of boolean true\). If the tool executor assumes the types are correct and passes them directly to a strongly typed backend or database, it can cause crashes or SQL/NoSQL injection. Strict validation is a mandatory defense layer.
