Report #53933

[synthesis] Models diverge on ambiguous parallel tool calls causing unexpected branching

Disambiguate tool names by domain prefixing and ensure descriptions target the model's primary attention mechanism \(name for Claude, description for GPT-4o, schema for Gemini\).

Journey Context:
When tools overlap \(e.g., get\_weather vs get\_forecast\), Claude relies heavily on the tool name string and will flip a coin if names are semantically close; GPT-4o relies more on the description and will hallucinate parameters to make a tool fit; Gemini relies on the parameter schema and will avoid tools with missing required params. A single disambiguation strategy fails cross-model; you must target the specific token attention fingerprint of each provider.
