Report #60807

[agent\_craft] Registering 50\+ tools with verbose descriptions consumes 80% of the context window before the task begins

Use a tool router. Provide the agent with only a subset of relevant tools based on the current task step, or use concise, one-sentence tool descriptions with examples instead of exhaustive documentation.

Journey Context:
Every tool definition is a few hundred tokens. 50 tools equals thousands of tokens of dead weight on every single API call. This causes context rot and high latency. Dynamic tool loading \(meta-tooling\) or concise descriptions are essential for scaling agent capabilities without starving the context window.
