Fetches full schema definitions for deferred tools so they can be called.

Deferred tools appear by name in <system-reminder> messages. Until fetched, only the name is known — there is no parameter schema, so the tool cannot be invoked. This tool takes a query, matches it against the deferred tool list, and returns the matched tools' complete JSONSchema definitions inside a <functions> block. Once a tool's schema appears in that result, it is callable exactly like any tool defined at the top of the prompt.

Result format: each matched tool appears as one <function>{"description": "...", "name": "...", "parameters": {...}}</function> line inside the <functions> block — the same encoding as the tool list at the top of this prompt.
