[frontier] Fixed tool APIs are too rigid for dynamic data transformation and analysis tasks

Replace fixed tool schemas with 'Code-as-Tool': the agent generates Python/JS code in a sandboxed environment \(E2B\) to manipulate data, then returns results, handling arbitrary logic without tool sprawl.

Journey Context:
When the required computation is unknown upfront \(e.g., 'analyze this CSV for correlations'\), defining 50 tool functions is impossible. Frontier agents generate Python analysis scripts and execute them in E2B sandboxes. This 'Code-as-Tool' pattern handles arbitrary logic, file I/O, and complex libraries safely. Security is handled by the sandbox, not prompt engineering. This replaces brittle multi-step tool chains with imperative code generation for data manipulation tasks.
