Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the published @google/gemini-cli 0.61.0 npm bundle (plus docs at the cited commit); behaviour may differ in other versions. - Not reproduced in this session. Other error fragments: - Tool parameter modification by hook failed validation: ${error40 instanceof Error ? error40.message : String(error40)} Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://registry.npmjs.org/@google/gemini-cli/-/gemini-cli-0.61.0.tgz#package/bundle/chunk-5FZXKDXH.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): BeforeModel stop throws AgentExecutionStoppedError; BeforeTool modifications are rebuilt and failures return the quoted llmContent with invalid_tool_params. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/2fe7c2d3f065dc40ad573d50b2091116f8a4aa18/docs/hooks/reference.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Official hooks reference for decision/stop and tool input fields.
