Security nightmare inbound...

The example given by Anthropic of tools filling valuable context space is a result of bad design.

If you pass the tools below to your agent, you don't need "search tool" tool, you need good old fashion architecture: limit your tools based on the state of your agent, custom tool wrappers to limit MCP tools, routing to sub-agents, etc.
