Report #91490

[frontier] Agents executing destructive or irreversible tool calls with malformed parameters

Implement shadow tool calling: intercept tool calls, run them in a sandboxed dry-run environment that returns validation errors or simulated results, and only execute the actual state-mutating API call after LLM reflection on the dry-run output.

Journey Context:
LLMs frequently generate syntactically valid but semantically incorrect tool parameters \(e.g., deleting the wrong resource ID\). Direct execution causes production incidents. By prepending a dry-run step, the LLM sees the consequences or validation errors without mutating state, allowing it to self-correct. It doubles the token cost of tool calls but prevents catastrophic failures.
