[gotcha] Silent tool failures or infinite loops causing agent hang without telemetry

Implement strict timeouts for tool execution and log tool call failures, retries, and latency as distinct telemetry events.

Journey Context:
Agents can get stuck in loops where a tool fails silently or returns an error the LLM misinterprets, causing it to retry indefinitely. Without explicit telemetry on tool execution outcomes, developers are blind to these agentic loops.
