Research direction

Read the GenAI RFC linked in the issue to confirm the required argument formats, then find where sentry-python sets gen_ai.tool.call.arguments and inspect its related tests. Update or add coverage so the value serializes as a primitive JSON value, object, or array, and verify those formats in the tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Improvement Python Spans

As per the GenAI RFC:

Arguments are represented as a JSON object. Top-level keys correspond to tool call parameter names, and top-level values are the corresponding arguments. The arguments must be serialized as a primitive JSON value, JSON object, or JSON array:

{
    "id": "1234",
    "complex_input": {...}
}
