Report #6003

[agent\_craft] LLM generates tool calls with hallucinated parameters outside the JSON schema

Implement a pre-execution validation layer that checks arguments against the JSON Schema; on failure, return a structured 'ValidationError' to the LLM \(listing specific field violations\) to trigger self-correction rather than a generic execution exception.

Journey Context:
Agents often hallucinate parameters like 'recursive: true' when the schema only allows 'depth: int'. Catching this with a generic 'Error' leads to blind retry; providing the specific schema violation \('Field 'recursive' is not allowed'\) triggers the model to self-correct by reading the schema again. This requires separating 'validation errors' \(LLM's fault, retryable\) from 'execution errors' \(runtime fault, needs analysis\) and routing them differently in the prompt.
