//! Security-gated tool execution for ZeptoKernel.
//!
//! `execute_tool()` wraps core execution (safety check + lookup + run + metrics)
//! and is the shared path that enforces taint tracking. Called from:
//!
//! - `mcp_server/handler.rs` — MCP server `tools/call` requests (external clients)
//! - `agent/loop.rs` — Main agent loop tool execution (LLM-generated calls)
//!
//! The agent loop's per-session gates (hooks, approval, dry-run, streaming feedback)
//! stay in `agent/loop.rs` as a wrapper around this.
