[research] Agent selects the correct tool but hallucinates invalid or suboptimal arguments

Attach tool.name and tool.args.schema\_validation\_result as OpenTelemetry span attributes; create an eval that measures the edit distance or JSON schema compliance of generated arguments against the tool's input schema.

Journey Context:
Standard evals check if the right tool was called \(e.g., read\_file vs write\_file\). But agents often pass malformed JSON or wrong types. Observability must capture the exact arguments and validate them against the OpenAPI/JSON schema of the tool, creating a distinct metric for Tool Selection Accuracy vs Argument Schema Compliance.
