ProgressiveTool

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.embabel.agent.api.tool.Tool , com.embabel.agent.api.tool.ToolInfo
```
public interface ProgressiveTool
 implements Tool
                    
```
A tool implementing progressive disclosure - reveals additional capabilities beyond its initial interface.
Progressive tools present a simplified interface to the LLM initially, then reveal more specific tools when invoked. This reduces cognitive load and allows the LLM to discover capabilities on demand.
Implementations may vary what tools are revealed based on the current agent process context (permissions, state, phase, etc.).
