Report #51945

[synthesis] Agent passes subtly incorrect string arguments to tools without triggering schema validation

Implement semantic validation layers \(e.g., embedding similarity or LLM-as-a-judge\) on critical tool inputs, rather than relying solely on JSON schema validation.

Journey Context:
JSON Schema validates structure \(string vs int\), not meaning. As models degrade or drift, they might pass 'null', 'N/A', or slightly off entity names into tool fields. The tool executes, returns 200 OK, but the downstream state is corrupted. Teams only notice days later when downstream metrics drop. Structural validation gives a false sense of security; semantic validation is required for agent inputs.
