Reduce token consumption by making tool descriptions and parameter
descriptions more concise while preserving functionality:
- Remove redundant phrases ("This tool allows you to...", "Use this to...")
- Shorten parameter descriptions while keeping essential info
- Remove inline examples (use short hints instead)
- Apply consistent patterns across similar parameters
- Estimated ~50% reduction in tool definition tokens
