[frontier] How do I eliminate invalid JSON/tool call syntax errors from LLM outputs?

Use structured generation libraries \(Outlines, Guidance, or XGrammar\) to enforce tool schemas at the token sampling level, ensuring 100% valid JSON without regex post-processing.

Journey Context:
Regex repair is fragile and slow. Constrained decoding \(FSM-backed sampling\) guarantees schema compliance by masking invalid tokens. Tradeoff: requires logits access \(local models or specific APIs\) and can add latency. Essential for reliable tool-calling agents.
