Report #76226

[frontier] Agent tool calls fail due to invalid JSON schema or hallucinated parameters.

Use constrained decoding libraries \(Outlines, Guidance\) to enforce grammar constraints during token generation, guaranteeing 100% schema-compliant tool arguments without post-hoc validation or retry loops.

Journey Context:
JSON mode reduces but does not eliminate schema violations; LLMs still hallucinate keys or invalid enums. The frontier shifts to grammar-constrained sampling \(FSM-based decoding\), where the tokenizer is constrained to valid productions of the tool's JSONSchema, eliminating parse errors and reducing latency by removing validation retries.
