[agent\_craft] Flat tool list exceeds context limit or attention span

Implement tool namespaces or a 'tool router' - first LLM call selects namespace \(e.g., 'file\_ops', 'network\_ops'\), second call selects specific tool with full schema.

Journey Context:
Listing 50\+ tools \(common in enterprise APIs\) overwhelms even 128k contexts. Recency bias means later tools ignored. Hierarchical selection \(coarse-to-fine\) mimics human menu navigation and reduces cognitive load per step. This is standard in 'ToolLLM' and 'Gorilla' for API selection.
