Progressive disclosure of tools is essential for scaling agents. Providing a model with 100+ tools simultaneously degrades quality; agents must search for and 'discover' the right tool for the task.

Impact: Enables the deployment of massive tool libraries without compromising the reasoning capabilities of the underlying LLM.
