[agent\_craft] Verbose tool descriptions exhaust context window

Use hierarchical tool schemas: brief 1-line description \+ required args for routing; full detailed schema only loaded when tool is selected for execution.

Journey Context:
Long OpenAPI-style descriptions for 20\+ tools quickly fill 8k-32k windows, pushing out actual conversation history. Research on 'ToolLLM' and APIBench shows models only need full schema at execution time; for routing \(which tool to pick\), brief signatures suffice. This mimics human developers who scan function signatures before reading docs.
