Report #83512

[synthesis] Agent hallucinates tool parameters after encountering schema mismatches creating fictional fields

Implement schema anchoring - when validation fails force the agent to re-read the exact tool schema rather than hallucinating corrections

Journey Context:
When function calling returns validation errors agents often guess fixes based on pattern matching. This creates compounding errors. The fix comes from strict schema-first validation rather than LLM improvisation. Alternatives like fuzzy matching perpetuate the hallucination.
