Report #50693

[synthesis] Model outputs a tool parameter value outside the defined JSON schema enum

Reinforce enum constraints in the tool description text or system prompt, and never rely solely on the JSON schema \`enum\` field for strict adherence, especially with Claude.

Journey Context:
OpenAI's Structured Outputs \(strict mode\) guarantees schema adherence, including enums. Claude 3.5 Sonnet treats JSON schemas as suggestions; if a user request implies a value outside the enum, Claude will often violate the schema to be "helpful" rather than rejecting the input. Gemini falls somewhere in between. Cross-model agents must implement post-execution validation because schema enforcement is not uniform across providers.
