Report #55387

[synthesis] Tool call passes JSON schema validation but fails in execution due to semantic errors \(wrong units, IDs, formats\)

Implement semantic validators post-schema \(e.g., ID existence checks, unit verification\) before execution; fail fast with detailed mismatch reports

Journey Context:
Agents generate syntactically correct but semantically wrong parameters \(e.g., user\_id='123' vs 123, or meters vs feet\). Schema validation only checks types/structure, not domain correctness. Common mistake: assuming schema validation ensures correctness. Tradeoff: strict semantic validation \(brittle, requires domain knowledge\) vs runtime errors. Solution: layered validation with semantic checks as explicit code, not just JSON Schema; validate IDs exist in database before API calls.
