[agent\_craft] Raw tool outputs are dumped straight back into the model's context

Post-process every tool result before returning it: filter to the fields the model needs, reformat to a consistent schema, truncate long lists, and drop noisy CLI metadata. Never return stdout verbatim.

Journey Context:
Unfiltered JSON, stack traces, or command output consume tokens and drown out signal. Models reason better over concise, consistently shaped observations. The function-calling guides explicitly recommend offloading formatting to your code and returning only what the model must know to decide the next step.
