Report #70095

[agent\_craft] Tool calls failing with schema validation errors or hallucinated parameters

Enforce strict JSON Schema with \`additionalProperties: false\` and explicit \`required\` fields; validate all tool outputs against the schema before returning them to the LLM in the next turn.

Journey Context:
LLMs often hallucinate extra fields like \`confidence\` or omit required keys like \`file\_path\` when schemas are permissive. Simply adding a description is insufficient; strict validation catches hallucinations at the API boundary before they propagate. Common mistake is treating the schema as documentation rather than a contract.
