 Tools placed in your current working directory `./tools/` can be automatically loaded at agent initialization, and automatically reloaded when modified. This can be really useful when developing and debugging tools: simply modify the tool code and any agents using that tool will reload it to use the latest modifications!

 In production environments, it's critical to control which tools are available to your agent. You should:
 
  - **Explicitly Specify Tools**: Always provide an explicit list of tools rather than loading all available tools
- - **Disable Automatic Tool Loading**: For stability in production, disable automatic loading and reloading of tools
+ - **Keep Automatic Tool Loading Disabled**: For stability in production, keep automatic loading and reloading of tools disabled (the default behavior)
  - **Audit Tool Usage**: Regularly review which tools are being used and remove any that aren't necessary for your use case
