### 1\. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.
**Update, with real test data:** tested a parameter-renaming mitigation
(see langgenius/dify#40671) using real disposable tasks so the Agent had genuine matches
to find. Results revealed a second, distinct failure mode beyond the
original zero-tool-call fabrication:
| | Zero-call fabrication | Wrong-parameter dispatch |
| -- | -- | -- |
| Tool dispatched? | No | Yes |
| Runner accepts as success? | Yes (no validation) | Yes (no validation) |
| Failure locus | Runner loop | Model hallucinates argument value |
| DB side-effect | None | Row written with wrong identifier |
| Detection difficulty | Empty trace, easy to spot | Row looks legitimate, wrong record targeted |
The wrong-parameter case is arguably higher severity: a zero-call
fabrication leaves no trace and a human audit catches the absence. A
wrong-argument call writes a row that *looks* legitimate — an approver
trusting the description rather than independently verifying the actual
identifier would approve based on false context.
**Revising the ask accordingly:** the proposed guard should validate not
just that a tool was called, but that the tool's actual response contains
a verifiable identifier matching what was requested (e.g. the real
task_id echoed back by the underlying API), not merely that
tool_responses is non-empty. This closes both failure modes with one
mechanism.
Full trial data with real task IDs and the exact "Team not authorized"
evidence for the wrong-parameter case is in langgenius/dify#40671.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the real trial data and exact evidence in issue #40671, then trace the agent tool-dispatch and response-validation entry points discussed there. Define done as rejecting both zero-call fabrications and calls whose response lacks a verifiable identifier matching the requested record, with coverage for both failure modes.
