"""
Tool interface for the brain — MCP client for external capabilities.
The brain calls tools when it needs information it doesn't have.
Tools are MCP servers that the brain connects to as a client.
Currently supported:
- Web Search (via Brave/DuckDuckGo) — togglable
- (Future: code exec, file reader, calculator)
Usage:
from tools import ToolRouter
router = ToolRouter(web_search=True)
result = router.search("what is the capital of france")
