Report #54694

[synthesis] Agent degrades downstream data quality by hallucinating extra tool parameters or altering casing

Enforce strict JSON schema validation on LLM tool call outputs before execution, and track the delta between the LLM's generated schema and the strict schema. Alert on rising schema repair rates.

Journey Context:
If backend APIs are loosely typed or ignore unexpected parameters, an LLM subtly hallucinating extra fields or changing casing \(e.g., user\_id to userId\) won't throw an API error. The tool succeeds, but downstream systems ingest malformed data. Monitoring API error rates shows nothing; you must monitor the LLM-to-API translation layer for structural deviations from the strict schema.
