[architecture] Using semantic vector search to recall API schemas or tool definitions

Store tool schemas and exact code snippets in a structured, exact-match store, not a vector store. Use keyword or exact-match retrieval for tools.

Journey Context:
Vector embeddings average out the meaning of code/APIs, destroying the exact syntax required for execution. A vector search for 'send\_email' might return 'send\_sms' because they are functionally similar, but they are not interchangeable. Code and APIs require lexical/exact matching to preserve executability.
