I've run into the same issue, but you can turn it into an advantage if you are careful enough. Basically, give the LLM a schema that is loose enough for the LLM to expand where it feels expansion is needed. Saying always "return a number" is super limiting if the LLM has figured out you need a range instead. Saying "always populate this field" is silly because sometimes the field doesn't need to be populated.
