Report #82444

[agent\_craft] Agent loads all available tool definitions into the system prompt, consuming 80% of the context window

Dynamically inject tool definitions based on the agent's current sub-task, or use a hierarchical tool-router agent that only exposes a subset of tools at a time.

Journey Context:
Every tool definition costs tokens per inference step. Loading database tools when the agent is writing frontend code is a waste. Dynamic tool injection reduces baseline token consumption, but more importantly, it reduces tool-selection hallucinations—fewer options mean higher accuracy in picking the right tool for the immediate step.
