1. Tool definitions (JSON Schema format for providers)
2. A dispatch map from tool name → module for execution

# `build`

```elixir
@spec build([module()]) :: {[map()], %{required(String.t()) => module()}}
```

Returns `{tool_defs, tool_fns}` where:
- `tool_defs` is a list of maps suitable for provider APIs
- `tool_fns` maps tool name strings to their implementing module
