[research] Observability stacks miss agents hallucinating tool parameters that don't exist in the schema

Add a validation span in the trace between the LLM output and the tool execution. Log any discrepancies between the LLM's generated parameters and the strict tool schema as a Hallucinated Tool Call warning metric.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes invent parameters \(e.g., passing verbose=True to a tool that doesn't support it\). If the tool execution layer silently ignores extra parameters, the agent appears to succeed, but the logic is fragile. Logging schema violations as a distinct metric separates tool failure from agent hallucination, allowing you to fix the prompt before it causes a real failure.
