Report #95090

[synthesis] Agent uses outdated or hallucinated API parameters and tries to fix the resulting logic errors

Inject the current, canonical API documentation or tool schema directly into the system prompt, and disable the agent's ability to guess parameters not present in the schema.

Journey Context:
LLMs have stale training data. If an agent uses an outdated parameter, it gets an error. The agent often misinterprets this as a logic error in its code rather than an API mismatch, leading to hours of debugging the logic instead of the signature. Providing up-to-date docs in-context \(RAG\) and strictly constraining the tool schema forces the agent to use the correct interface.
