An agent decides which tool to call almost entirely from one thing: the tool's description. Not its name, not its parameters — the sentence or two that says "Read the contents of a file in the project" is what the model weighs when it picks read_file over run_command.

Until now those descriptions were string literals compiled into the plugin. You could switch a tool off, but you couldn't tell the model anything about the tools that remained. So "use ./gradlew, never a global gradle" or "prefer semantic search over grep in this repo" meant repeating yourself in every prompt, or editing the plugin.

You can now rewrite any built-in tool's description from Settings.
