Problem Statement

since https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12836 was closed for completing tool search feature, this is a new feature request just for programmatic tool calling

Proposed Solution

as referenced in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12836:

Programmatic Tool Calling (programmatic-tool-use-2025-04-15) Allow Claude to orchestrate multiple tools through code execution rather than individual API round-trips, with only final results entering context. Reported benefits: 37% token reduction on complex multi-tool tasks Eliminates inference overhead from multiple round-trips
