[research] Agent selects correct tool but hallucinates invalid parameters

Implement a pre-execution hook in the agent loop that validates tool arguments against a JSON schema before executing the tool, returning a schema validation error back to the LLM for self-correction.

Journey Context:
Developers often only check if the final task succeeded. If an agent calls a tool with a malformed query, gets an error, and then retries correctly, the task succeeds but with wasted tokens and latency. Pre-execution schema validation catches this immediately and provides a structured error message the LLM can actually use to recover, improving eval scores on tool-use accuracy.
