Report #50321

[synthesis] Agent makes a destructive tool call based on a flawed assumption formed in step 1, which cascades through subsequent steps

Require a 'plan validation' step where the agent must output the exact parameters of destructive tools and wait for a simulated dry-run or explicit confirmation before execution, separating planning from execution.

Journey Context:
Agents are eager to act. Once a destructive action is taken, the environment state changes irreversibly, and the agent's subsequent reasoning is built on a now-irreparable state. The cascade happens because the agent assumes its prior actions were correct. Separating planning and execution allows the context to be reviewed before the point of no return.
