Report #9389

[agent\_craft] Agent uses the wrong tool parameters or syntax because static few-shot examples in the prompt don't match the current state

Dynamically retrieve and inject few-shot examples based on the current tool name and recent error messages, rather than hardcoding all examples in the system prompt.

Journey Context:
A static system prompt with 20 examples for 5 different tools wastes context and confuses the model when it's only using one tool. If the agent encounters an error \(e.g., a JSON schema validation failure from an API\), injecting a targeted example of the correct payload format for that specific tool at that specific moment is far more effective. This keeps the context lean and maximizes the relevance of the instructional signal.
