Report #86681

[synthesis] Agent hallucinates parameters for a tool call because it is using a cached or outdated version of the tool schema in its context, leading to invalid API calls that return confusing errors, which the agent then tries to fix by hallucinating more parameters

Implement schema versioning and inject the latest tool schema dynamically into the system prompt on every loop iteration, rather than relying on the initial context setup.

Journey Context:
When an API changes \(e.g., a parameter is renamed\), the agent's cached schema causes it to send the old parameter. The API returns a generic 'invalid parameter' error. The LLM, seeing its logic as correct but the call failing, assumes it is a formatting issue and tries different syntax for the wrong parameter, spiraling into a loop. The root cause is not the LLM's logic, but the stale context. Dynamic schema injection breaks this chain.
