docs: default custom tool creation to plugins
Steers custom tool creation toward the plugin route by default.
The adding-tools.md guide is now explicitly for built-in core Hermes
tools only.
Key fixes:
- Plugin quickstart: ctx.register_tool() now uses correct keyword-arg
API (name=, toolset=, schema=, handler=) instead of broken 3-arg call
- Handler signature: (params, **kwargs) instead of (params)
- Handler return: json.dumps({...}) instead of plain string
- AGENTS.md: mentions plugin route before built-in tool instructions
- learning-path.md: plugins listed before core tool development
- contributing.md: separates plugin vs core tool paths
Based on PR #13138 by @helix4u.

## Adding New Tools

|
||||
Requires changes in **2 files**:
|
||||
For most custom or local-only tools, do **not** edit Hermes core. Use the plugin
|
||||
route instead: create `~/.hermes/plugins/<name>/plugin.yaml` and
|
||||
`~/.hermes/plugins/<name>/__init__.py`, then register tools with
|
||||
`ctx.register_tool(...)`. Plugin toolsets are discovered automatically and can be
|
||||
enabled or disabled without touching `tools/` or `toolsets.py`.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the built-in route below only when the user is explicitly contributing a new
|
||||
core Hermes tool that should ship in the base system.
