1. Why LLMs Invent Keys
Without strict syntactic boundaries, language models treat JSON schemas as loose stylistic suggestions. Under high ambiguity, they frequently invent plausible-sounding parameters.
By encapsulating JSON Schema definitions within system instructions and requiring explicit nullability checks, hallucination drops to near zero.
typescript
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"status": { "type": "string", "enum": ["success", "error"] },
"data": { "type": "object", "additionalProperties": false },
"errorReason": { "type": ["string", "null"] }
},
"required": ["status", "data", "errorReason"],
"additionalProperties": false
}
