[synthesis] Agent uses outdated tool schema and rewrites application logic to fix API errors

Inject the API's HTTP status code and error name directly into the agent's reasoning chain, and add a tool-use wrapper that detects deprecation headers or schema validation errors to force a tool-definition reload.

Journey Context:
When an API updates and a parameter is renamed, the agent sends the old schema. The API returns a 400 Bad Request. The agent, unaware its tool definition is stale, interprets the 400 as a flaw in its own logic or the data, and attempts to restructure the entire payload or query, creating a tangled mess of workarounds. By elevating the HTTP error semantics to a top-level planning constraint, the agent can recognize a schema mismatch rather than blindly iterating on bad logic.
