ToolChaining

All Implemented Interfaces:
```
public interface ToolChaining<THIS extends Object>

                    
```
Fluent API for configuring domain tool chaining.
Enables @LlmTool methods on returned domain objects to become available as tools. Shared by AgenticTool and com.embabel.agent.api.common.PromptRunner.

  - withToolChainingFrom
```
 abstract <T extends Any> THIS withToolChainingFrom(Class<T> type, DomainToolPredicate<T> predicate)
```
    Register a domain class with a predicate to control when its @LlmTool methods become available as tools.
    When a single artifact of the specified type is returned, any @LlmTool annotated methods on that instance become available as tools, provided the predicate is satisfied.
    When multiple artifacts of the same type are returned, "last wins" - only the most recent artifact that passes the predicate will have its tools exposed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The domain class that may contribute @LlmTool methods
    
    predicate - Predicate to filter which instances contribute tools
  - withToolChainingFrom
```
 <T extends Any> THIS withToolChainingFrom(Class<T> type)
```
    Register a class whose @LlmTool methods become available as tools when a single instance of that type is returned as an artifact.
    This is a convenience method that accepts all instances (no filtering).
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The class that may contribute @LlmTool methods
  - withToolChainingFromAny
```
 abstract THIS withToolChainingFromAny()
```
    Enable auto-discovery of chained tools from any returned artifact.
    When enabled, any artifact with @LlmTool methods will automatically have its tools exposed, replacing ALL previous bindings.
