Report #56035

[frontier] Agent invents new parameters or forgets required parameters for tools after 40\+ turns of usage

Use Fresh Schema Injection—before every tool call after turn 30, retrieve the canonical JSON schema from the tool registry and inject it as a temporary system message or as part of the tool description, rather than relying on the model's internalized version of the schema

Journey Context:
Repeated tool usage causes the model to hallucinate schema details—omitting required fields, inventing parameters, or ignoring type constraints. The initial tool definition gets buried in context. Local caching of schemas in the model's working memory decays. Dynamic retrieval ensures the ground truth schema is always in the immediate context window for that specific inference, preventing drift-induced hallucinations.
