 You can also use the `--tools` flag to control the underlying *attachment* of tools (not just the permissions).
 Compared to disallowing the tool, this will additionally remove the tool schema from the agent's context window.

-letta -p "run tests" --tools "Bash,Read"         # Only load specific tools
-letta -p "analyze code" --tools ""               # No tools (analysis only)
