RaresKeY e6323b1839 fix(agent): gate tools after external context
Classify built-in tool effects in a server-owned registry and carry run-local external-context integrity state through the agent loop and dispatcher. Block high-impact and unknown actions after successful external results, including same-batch calls, without relying on model compliance.
