Report #7897

[gotcha] Agent hallucinates parameters or calls tools that don't exist after dynamic tool loading/unloading

When dynamically loading/unloading MCP tools, explicitly inform the agent in the system prompt that the toolset has changed, and strictly validate tool calls against the currently active schema, returning a JSON-RPC Invalid params \(-32602\) error on mismatch.

Journey Context:
In progressive disclosure, tools are loaded on demand. When the context shifts and tools are unloaded, the LLM might still 'remember' the tool from a previous turn and try to call it, or hallucinate parameters from a similar tool. The orchestrator might silently fail or crash. By strictly validating against the current schema and returning standard JSON-RPC errors, the LLM receives immediate feedback that the tool is unavailable, forcing it to re-evaluate its available toolset.
