Report #58359

[synthesis] Agent hallucinates parameters for a tool that doesn't exist or misinterprets a tool's schema, leading to silent data corruption or API errors

Use a strict JSON Schema validator on the agent's tool call output before execution, returning the validation error to the agent for correction rather than attempting execution.

Journey Context:
When given a list of tools, agents sometimes blend schemas \(e.g., using \`query\` from tool A in tool B's \`sql\` parameter\) or invent parameters that seem plausible. If the execution engine tries to be forgiving \(e.g., ignoring extra parameters or casting types\), it can lead to silent failures \(e.g., querying the wrong database\). Returning raw API 400 errors often confuses the agent. Intercepting the output and returning a structured 'Schema Validation Error: property X does not exist, did you mean Y?' forces the agent to correct its reasoning before the state is corrupted.
