Report #9173

[research] Agent selects the correct tool but for the wrong reasoning, passing bad parameters

Evaluate the tool generation step \(the JSON arguments\) independently of the tool execution result. Use a golden dataset of expected parameter mappings.

Journey Context:
It is common for an agent to accidentally call the right tool \(e.g., get\_user\(id=1\)\) but with hallucinated parameters, or call it for the wrong reason but get a lucky success. If you only evaluate the final outcome, you miss this fragility. Evaluating the intent and parameters at the span level catches this before it causes a silent data corruption bug in production.
