The server's default Code Mode surface (search/execute meta-tools) is
itself a tool-discovery layer; stacking it under Hermes tool_search
would mean two search hops and an opaque 2-tool surface. With
?codemode=false each of the ~3,300 API endpoints registers as its own
tool with a full JSON Schema, and Hermes's own progressive disclosure
defers and searches the complete catalog — one layer, total
information. Verified live: tools/list returns 3,320 tools, all with
input schemas. post_install documents the trade-off and how to opt
back into Code Mode.
