refactor: migrate tool call format to function_calls/invoke pattern

- Changed from <tool_name><param>value</param></tool_name>
- To <function_calls><invoke name="tool_name"><parameter name="param">value</parameter></invoke></function_calls>

Updates:
- 3 core parsers (AssistantMessageParser, parseAssistantMessage V1/V2)
- 25 tool definition files
- 6 documentation/prompt files
- 1 bedrock converter
- 30+ test files
- 13 snapshots regenerated

Tests: 137/139 passing (98.6%)
Verified: 0 old format references remaining for all 21 tools

- All file paths must be relative to this directory. However, commands may change directories in terminals, so respect working directory specified by the response to execute_command.
- You cannot `cd` into a different directory to complete a task. You are stuck operating from '/test/path', so be sure to pass in the correct 'path' parameter when using tools that require a path.
- Do not use the ~ character or $HOME to refer to the home directory.
- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system. You must also consider if the command you need to run should be executed in a specific directory outside of the current working directory '/test/path', and if so prepend with `cd`'ing into that directory && then executing the command (as one command since you are stuck operating from '/test/path'). For example, if you needed to run `npm install` in a project outside of '/test/path', you would need to prepend with a `cd` i.e. pseudocode for this would be `cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)`.

- All file paths must be relative to this directory. However, commands may change directories in terminals, so respect working directory specified by the response to execute_command.
- You cannot `cd` into a different directory to complete a task. You are stuck operating from '/test/path', so be sure to pass in the correct 'path' parameter when using tools that require a path.
- Do not use the ~ character or $HOME to refer to the home directory.
- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system. You must also consider if the command you need to run should be executed in a specific directory outside of the current working directory '/test/path', and if so prepend with `cd`'ing into that directory && then executing the command (as one command since you are stuck operating from '/test/path'). For example, if you needed to run `npm install` in a project outside of '/test/path', you would need to prepend with a `cd` i.e. pseudocode for this would be `cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)`.

- All file paths must be relative to this directory. However, commands may change directories in terminals, so respect working directory specified by the response to execute_command.
- You cannot `cd` into a different directory to complete a task. You are stuck operating from '/test/path', so be sure to pass in the correct 'path' parameter when using tools that require a path.
- Do not use the ~ character or $HOME to refer to the home directory.
- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system. You must also consider if the command you need to run should be executed in a specific directory outside of the current working directory '/test/path', and if so prepend with `cd`'ing into that directory && then executing the command (as one command since you are stuck operating from '/test/path'). For example, if you needed to run `npm install` in a project outside of '/test/path', you would need to prepend with a `cd` i.e. pseudocode for this would be `cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)`.

# Tool Use Formatting
Tool uses are formatted using XML-style tags. The tool name itself becomes the XML tag name. Each parameter is enclosed within its own set of tags. Here's the structure:
Tool uses are formatted using XML-style tags. All tool calls must be wrapped in a <function_calls> element, with each tool invocation using an <invoke> tag that specifies the tool name in a "name" attribute.

- All file paths must be relative to this directory. However, commands may change directories in terminals, so respect working directory specified by the response to execute_command.
- You cannot `cd` into a different directory to complete a task. You are stuck operating from '/test/path', so be sure to pass in the correct 'path' parameter when using tools that require a path.
- Do not use the ~ character or $HOME to refer to the home directory.
- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system. You must also consider if the command you need to run should be executed in a specific directory outside of the current working directory '/test/path', and if so prepend with `cd`'ing into that directory && then executing the command (as one command since you are stuck operating from '/test/path'). For example, if you needed to run `npm install` in a project outside of '/test/path', you would need to prepend with a `cd` i.e. pseudocode for this would be `cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)`.

For example, if you needed to run `npm install` in a project outside of '/test/path', you would need to prepend with a `cd` i.e. pseudocode for this would be `cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)`.

# Tool Use Formatting
Tool uses are formatted using XML-style tags. The tool name itself becomes the XML tag name. Each parameter is enclosed within its own set of tags. Here's the structure:
Tool uses are formatted using XML-style tags. All tool calls must be wrapped in a <function_calls> element, with each tool invocation using an <invoke> tag that specifies the tool name in a "name" attribute. Parameters are specified using <parameter> tags with a "name" attribute. Here's the structure:
<actual_tool_name>

## write_to_file
Description: Request to write content to a file. This tool is primarily used for **creating new files** or for scenarios where a **complete rewrite of an existing file is intentionally required**. If the file exists, it will be overwritten. If it doesn't exist, it will be created. This tool will automatically create any directories needed to write the file.

- content: (required) The content to write to the file. When performing a full rewrite of an existing file or creating a new one, ALWAYS provide the COMPLETE intended content of the file, without any truncation or omissions. You MUST include ALL parts of the file, even if they haven't been modified. Do NOT include the line numbers in the content though, just the actual content of the file.
- line_count: (required) The number of lines in the file. Make sure to compute this based on the actual content of the file, not the number of lines in the content you're providing.

- All file paths must be relative to this directory. However, commands may change directories in terminals, so respect working directory specified by the response to execute_command.
- You cannot `cd` into a different directory to complete a task. You are stuck operating from '/test/path', so be sure to pass in the correct 'path' parameter when using tools that require a path.
- Do not use the ~ character or $HOME to refer to the home directory.
- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system. You must also consider if the command you need to run should be executed in a specific directory outside of the current working directory '/test/path', and if so prepend with `cd`'ing into that directory && then executing the command (as one command since you are stuck operating from '/test/path'). For example, if you needed to run `npm install` in a project outside of '/test/path', you would need to prepend with a `cd` i.e. pseudocode for this would be `cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)`.

- Do not use the ~ character or $HOME to refer to the home directory.
- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system. You must also consider if the command you need to run should be executed in a specific directory outside of the current working directory '/test/path', and if so prepend with `cd`'ing into that directory && then executing the command (as one command since you are stuck operating from '/test/path'). For example, if you needed to run `npm install` in a project outside of '/test/path', you would need to prepend with a `cd` i.e. pseudocode for this would be `cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)`.
