[frontier] LLM failing to select the correct tool in large toolsets due to semantic overlap

Implement Deterministic Tool Routing: use semantic search or keyword matching to select a subset of tools, then present ONLY that subset to the LLM for final choice, bypassing the need for the LLM to choose from 50\+ tools at once.

Journey Context:
As agent capabilities grow, developers attach dozens or hundreds of tools. LLMs suffer from choice paralysis and high hallucination rates when presented with massive tool schemas. The frontier pattern is RAG for tools: intercept the user prompt, embed it, retrieve the top 5 most relevant tool schemas from a vector store, and dynamically inject only those into the LLM's context. This drastically improves tool selection accuracy and reduces prompt size.
