Tool calls need formation-bound dispatch to preserve their security meaning

The authors show that binding pending calls to verified implementation effects prevents software updates from silently changing approved behavior.

Kim and Kang identify schema-epoch drift, a failure in which a valid tool call acquires different security consequences because its implementation changes between formation and execution.

The authors built formation-consistent dispatch (FCD), a mechanism that binds a model-formed call to its descriptor, implementation, execution context, and permitted effects.
