Report #77071

[research] Agent hallucinates parameters for a tool call \(e.g., passing a string where an int is required, or inventing an enum value\) leading to API errors

Implement strict JSON schema validation for all generated tool calls before execution, and feed the validation error back to the model for self-correction.

Journey Context:
LLMs often fail to adhere strictly to complex JSON schemas, especially with nested objects or specific enums. They will guess a plausible value rather than halting. Schema validation acts as a hard boundary, forcing the model to either correct its output or gracefully fail, preventing downstream crashes from unvalidated API payloads.
