I Added 50 Tools to My AI Agent, and It Got Dumber.

I built ToolGate, an MCP proxy that uses semantic search to filter AI agent tools. It reduces context bloat by 60%+ while maintaining 85%+ precision on synthetic benchmarks. Generated with Gemini. ToolGate - a smart MCP/tool proxy The Problem: When Tools = Less Intelligence I build (and help teams build) agentic AI systems, and they all use many tools. Each agent has access to different tool sets through MCP servers. By the time I hit 6+ MCP servers with 50+ tools per agent, my agents got worse. Tasks that used to work smoothly started failing.
