The Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows servers to expose tools
that can be invoked by language models. Tools enable models to
interact with external systems, such as querying databases,
calling APIs, or performing computations. Each tool is uniquely
identified by a name and includes metadata describing its schema.

Build a tool spec. Be intentional with the name and description when defining
the tool since it will inform the LLM when to use the tool.
The `Phantom.Router.tool/3` macro will build these specs.
Fields:
- `:name` - The name of the tool.
- `:title` A human-readable title for the tool, useful for UI display.
- `:description` - The description of the tool and when to use it.
- `:mime_type` - the MIME type of the results.
- `:handler` - The module to call.
- `:function` - The function to call on the handler module.
- `:output_schema` - the JSON schema of the results.
- `:input_schema` - The JSON schema of the input arguments.
- `:read_only` If `true`, indicates the tool does not modify its environment.
- `:destructive` If `true`, the tool may perform destructive updates (only meaningful when `:read_only` is `false`).
- `:idempotent` If `true`, calling the tool repeatedly with the same arguments has no additional effect (only meaningful when `:read_only` is `false`).
- `:open_world` If `true`, the tool may interact with an "open world" of external entities.
