[cost\_intel] Multi-hop agent planning with tool dependencies

Use o1 for the planning/orchestration layer in agent systems; use GPT-4o-mini for tool execution. Reasoning models reduce replanning loops by 50% in multi-tool scenarios.

Journey Context:
Agents fail when they cannot backtrack from dead-ends in tool sequences \(e.g., searching then calculating\). Instruct models commit to initial wrong tool sequences due to greedy token generation. Reasoning models explore the search space internally before emitting the plan. The expensive model should handle the 'brain' \(planning\), cheap models the 'hands' \(API calls\).
