Report #35755

[agent\_craft] Too many tool definitions in system prompt exhausts context window and confuses routing

Implement a tool router. Only inject the definitions of tools relevant to the current sub-task into the context, rather than the entire API schema.

Journey Context:
Agents are often given 50\+ tools. The LLM has to read all schemas every turn, which eats context and increases the probability of choosing the wrong tool due to attention dilution. A two-tier approach solves this: a lightweight router LLM or classifier selects a subset of tools relevant to the current step, then the executor LLM only sees those specific schemas, preserving context window and improving accuracy.
