llama.cpp Native Tool Support

An experimental flag, --tools, has been added to llama.cpp's llama-server, providing an environment where the model can use tools directly without any separate middleware.

The main supported tools are as follows:

• File manipulation: read_file, write_file, edit_file, apply_diff, file_glob_search
• System and search: exec_shell_command, grep_search, get_datetime

This feature allows llama-server to be used as a mini agent harness without MCP (Model Context Protocol) or heavy wrappers.

However, security sandboxing has not yet been implemented, so file operations are performed relative to the server's startup folder, and there are no restrictions such as a whitelist of allowed commands. Therefore, extra caution regarding security is needed for actual deployment.
