Conversation
A tool parameter is either in the JSON schema for every conversation or it does not exist. A parameter that is useful in one context and noise in the rest has nowhere to live: declaring it unconditionally makes every conversation reason about an argument it will rarely use, and moving it to `options` takes the choice away from the model entirely. The draft adds `enabled` to a parameter's configuration, so a config layer can hide a parameter by default and expose it only where it is wanted. Disabled means absent from the schema, absent from `describe_tools`, and rejected if supplied anyway. Extends RFD 042, which considered hidden parameters and rejected them. Both of its objections have since been answered by machinery that post-dates it, so the reversal is argued explicitly rather than assumed. Signed-off-by: Jean Mertz <git@jeanmertz.com>
