Report #3687

[architecture] Multiple agents sharing a global tool namespace leading to tool name collisions or unauthorized tool use

Scope tools strictly to the agent definition; inject tools dynamically based on the active agent so the LLM only sees the tools it owns.

Journey Context:
If Agent A and Agent B both have a 'run\_code' tool with different environments, a global namespace breaks. Injecting tools per-agent enforces the boundary and reduces prompt size, improving LLM accuracy. The tradeoff is slightly more complex tool management, but it prevents hallucinated tool calls and security breaches.
