01 — Tooling

Move tool metadata, policy enforcement, unknown-tool recovery, dynamic exposure, and output budgeting onto SDK primitives; delete the OpenHuman side-lookup pattern and legacy tool plumbing.

Target SDK surface (available across tinyagents 1.2.x–1.3.0; current repo lock is 1.5.0):

• Tool::policy() -> ToolPolicy { side_effects, runtime, access } — serializable safety metadata (read_only/writes_files/network/destructive/ payment; timeout/retries/idempotent/sandbox/max_result_bytes; workspace access/trusted_roots/credentials/approval_required/background_safe).
• ToolPolicyMiddleware (fail-closed on unclassified), ToolAllowlistMiddleware, DynamicToolSelectionMiddleware, ContextualToolSelectionMiddleware, HumanApprovalMiddleware.
• RunPolicy.unknown_tool: UnknownToolPolicy::{Fail, ReturnToolError, Rewrite}.
• ToolRegistry::policies(), ToolExecutionContext.workspace: WorkspaceDescriptor.

Steps:

1. 01-tool-policy.md — implement policy() on the adapters; retire the name → Arc<dyn Tool> side-lookup.
2. 02-unknown-tool.md — replace the sentinel with UnknownToolPolicy.
3. 03-dynamic-exposure.md — allowlists/denylists/channel ceiling as selection middleware.
4. 04-tool-output.md — output budgets + payload summarizer as after_tool; delete legacy files.

Done when: no OpenHuman middleware queries tool trait methods ad hoc; the sentinel is gone; tool visibility decisions are middleware-owned and event-visible; deletions in 99-deletion-ledger.md §tooling are done.
