[architecture] Unpredictable tool execution from schema drift when the same tool is defined differently across multiple agents

Centralize tool definitions in a shared registry and inject them by reference into agent configurations, ensuring a single source of truth for schemas and descriptions.

Journey Context:
Copy-pasting tool definitions across agents leads to subtle bugs—Agent A expects a string, Agent B expects an object. Centralization guarantees execution reliability. The tradeoff is that you lose the ability to give an agent a highly personalized, context-specific description of a tool's purpose, which can sometimes degrade tool-selection accuracy in complex single-agent setups.
