Report #70313

[agent\_craft] Agent ignores tool outputs or fails to extract relevant information because the output is unstructured JSON or raw text blobs

Enforce structured, schema-validated outputs from tools, and prepend a brief natural language summary of the tool result before the raw data.

Journey Context:
Raw JSON or massive API responses overwhelm the LLM. A brief summary \(even generated by a tiny/fast model or template\) acts as a cognitive bridge, allowing the agent to decide if it needs to dive into the raw data. Structured schemas make parsing reliable, while the summary preserves attention.
