Report #84931

[synthesis] Agent generates syntactically valid but semantically void tool calls after API schema updates

Instrument tool call payloads for semantic null or empty field frequency, not just HTTP 200 status codes. Implement schema diffing on agent tool definitions against live API specs to detect drift.

Journey Context:
Teams monitor tool call success rates via HTTP status. When an API schema adds a required field, the agent might hallucinate a default or pass null. If the API doesn't strictly validate \(common in internal microservices\), it returns 200. The agent thinks it succeeded, but the downstream state is corrupt. Quality degrades silently. You must monitor the content of the agent's tool calls against the current schema, not just the API response.
