Report #71292

[architecture] Giving all agents access to all tools, causing destructive actions by under-qualified agents

Scope tool availability strictly per agent role. A researcher agent only gets read tools; a coder agent gets write tools but requires approval from an approver agent.

Journey Context:
LLMs will use whatever tools they have access to if they think it solves the immediate sub-goal, ignoring broader safety constraints. Role-based tool access enforces the principle of least privilege, preventing a summarization agent from accidentally dropping a database.
