[synthesis] Agent fails to call tools correctly because the tool schema in its prompt has drifted from the actual API schema

Generate tool schemas dynamically from the actual API's OpenAPI or JSON schema spec at runtime, rather than hardcoding them in the system prompt.

Journey Context:
Developers often define tool schemas for agents as static JSON in the prompt. When the underlying API updates \(e.g., a required field is added\), the agent's schema is now out of sync. The agent attempts to call the tool with the old schema, gets an error, and tries to fix its parameters based on the error message, but it cannot guess the new schema. The partial success of the tool being recognized masks the total failure of the parameters. The synthesis is that agent tooling must treat schemas as live code, not static prompts. Dynamically fetching and injecting the schema at runtime eliminates the drift.
