Report #50991

[agent\_craft] Agent is given a flat list of dozens of tools and wastes tokens and reasoning cycles trying to decide which to use, often picking the wrong one

Implement a hierarchical tool router. Group tools by domain \(e.g., file editing, shell execution, web search\) and use a fast, cheap model or rule-based router to select the toolset, then a capable model to use the specific tool.

Journey Context:
Flat tool lists cause decision paralysis and increase the probability of tool-selection hallucinations. Hierarchical routing reduces the action space at each step, improving accuracy and significantly reducing token usage on tool descriptions in the system prompt.
