//! Tool registry, dispatch, and tool implementations.
//!
//! Every tool takes `&mut Server` (so it can load/invalidate the
//! cached repo view), a JSON `Value` of the parsed `arguments`
//! field, and returns a text payload. The server wraps the payload
//! in MCP's `content[]` shape and appends `_meta` metrics.
//!
//! Tool outputs are **plain text with a light structure** (indented
//! lists, `key: value` lines). Not JSON. LLMs read this kind of
//! output with much lower per-token overhead than a blob of JSON,
//! and the parse-free shape is a feature for the no-tokenizer-yet
//! metrics path.
