Delegating MCP tool selection to a cheap zero-shot classifier for large catalogs

A developer asks whether a cheap, zero-shot semantic classifier could pre-select MCP tools when catalogs get large, instead of stuffing every schema into context. Progressive tool discovery may still cost too many round trips, and runtime-only tool availability makes pre-training a classifier tricky — but the routing/context-cost problem it targets is real.
