Report #57184

[synthesis] Agent generates syntactically valid tool calls that execute wrong logic due to parameter namespace collision

Mandate strict 'schema provenance' checks: before executing any tool call, verify that every parameter exists in the specific API version's OpenAPI spec; reject calls where parameter sets match known similar but different APIs \(e.g., AWS S3 vs GCS\) but not the target.

Journey Context:
LLMs are trained on vast API documentation. When faced with 'create\_bucket', the model may hallucinate 'LocationConstraint' \(AWS\) when calling GCS \(which uses 'location'\). Standard JSON Schema validation passes because both are strings, but the semantics differ. The error is 'confidently wrong' because the agent imports schema fragments from training data that are structurally valid but contextually wrong. Provenance checking treats the API specification as a ground truth oracle that must be explicitly matched, preventing cross-contamination between similar API patterns in the model's parametric memory.
