Report #91888

[frontier] Tool Schema Entropy: After many tool calls, agent conflates similar tool schemas or injects parameters from previous calls into current ones

Deploy 'Schema Isolation Chambers'—clear context between tool calls, maintaining only abstracted intent state in a 'working memory' buffer; validate tool outputs against JSON Schema before allowing context re-insertion

Journey Context:
Raw tool history creates cross-contamination where parameter values from call N influence call N\+1. Standard context management keeps full JSON blobs. Isolation forces the agent to treat each tool call as fresh while the working memory preserves high-level goals without schema pollution.

environment: high-frequency tool use agents, 50\+ tool call sessions, complex multi-step workflows · tags: schema-entropy tool-isolation context-clearing json-validation · source: swarm · provenance: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling
