Report #27391

[cost\_intel] Entire OpenAPI specification dumped into agent tool context

Dynamically select and inject only the 2-3 most relevant tool definitions for the current step, or use a tool-retrieval RAG step before acting.

Journey Context:
Passing hundreds of tool definitions consumes thousands of input tokens per turn, which compounds in an agentic loop. It also degrades model performance due to attention dilution \(analysis paralysis\). Dynamically selecting tools based on the user query cuts token usage by 80%\+ and often improves tool selection accuracy.
