I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea because each time you connect and disconnect tools, you are hitting a full cache miss on the full context, that will be probably more expensive than having these tools in place from the very beginning.

Yeah adding tools dynamically seems good but removal is a terrible idea. Instant cache nuke.

I also really don't see how the hacky command interceptor is that much better than a dedicated tool. You're one which away from a very confused LLM.
