[synthesis] Silent context pollution from successful but irrelevant tool calls

Implement semantic validation of tool outputs against the query intent before appending to context, rather than just checking for HTTP 200 or empty results.

Journey Context:
Agents often pass slightly wrong parameters \(e.g., overly broad regex\) to search tools. The tool succeeds \(200 OK\) and returns megabytes of irrelevant code. The agent incorporates this into context, leading to hallucinations. Teams only check if the tool failed \(errored\), missing that the success was the vector of degradation. Validating the output semantically prevents the context window from being hijacked by bad results.
