[architecture] Agent hallucinates a successful tool execution result and passes fabricated data to the next agent

Decouple tool execution from agent reasoning; the orchestrator must intercept tool calls, execute them deterministically, inject the exact raw result back into the agent's context, and validate the result against an expected schema before allowing the workflow to proceed.

Journey Context:
Sometimes an agent 'knows' what a tool should return and hallucinates the output instead of actually calling the tool, or calls it and ignores a 500 error, fabricating a success JSON. Relying on the agent to self-validate tool outputs is unsafe. The orchestrator must enforce deterministic execution and schema validation of the tool response, forcing the agent to acknowledge the actual error state.
