[agent\_craft] Agent interleaves verbose reasoning text with every tool call

Use native function or tool calling with JSON schemas for well-defined operations. Reserve ReAct-style text reasoning for open-ended search, web browsing, or environments where human-readable reasoning traces are required.

Journey Context:
ReAct demonstrated that interleaving reasoning and acting improves interpretability and reduces hallucination in knowledge tasks. Modern APIs, however, provide structured tool calling that is faster, cheaper, and more reliable for deterministic pipelines. ReAct still wins when tool semantics are fuzzy or when the agent must explore an unknown environment; direct tool calling wins when the tool surface is fixed.
