Report #69333

[frontier] Agents generate invalid tool arguments because JSON schemas aren't enforced during generation

Use constrained decoding \(structured outputs\) on tool arguments to guarantee schema compliance at the token level, not just post-hoc validation

Journey Context:
Post-hoc validation fails 15-30% of the time requiring expensive retries; constraining the generation grammar to the tool schema eliminates invalid calls and reduces latency by ensuring the model physically cannot generate invalid JSON
