Typed per question-shape rather than one generic `search()`, because the useful
*return fields* differ: an office needs a room and a phone number, an event needs
a date and a contact, a degree program needs the catalog's verbatim rule text. A
single tool returning a blob would push all of that back onto the model.
Every tool returns compact dicts, hard-capped in size. Tool payloads are the main
cost driver of a turn and a 4,000-character course description helps nobody — so
snippets are truncated and result counts are bounded, here rather than by asking
the model nicely.
Each call also records the documents it returned into a per-turn collector, which
is how the server later proves which of the model's links actually came from
retrieval instead of trusting it to cite honestly.
