Report #54359

[synthesis] Over-reliance on single tool output format

Add a 'schema validation' step in the agent loop. If the tool output doesn't match the expected schema, the agent should retry the tool call with a stricter prompt or use a fallback parsing strategy.

Journey Context:
Pydantic is used for data validation in traditional software, but agents often rely on the LLM to parse outputs correctly. Synthesizing Pydantic's validation model with agent control flow creates a 'schema validation' step, allowing the agent to detect and recover from malformed tool outputs instead of crashing or hallucinating.
