Description

When the extension tries to use a tool (i.e. for reading a file), it fails with an API error from Claude.
This seems to be related to the introduction of tools. It would be great to be able to disable tools for now as a workaround.

To reproduce

1. Mark a line of code, i.e. // eslint-disable-next-line max-classes-per-file
2. Press Cmd+L to add selection to chat
3. Enter "i want to disable this globally via tsconfig.json" as a prompt
4. Fails with error:

{
  "message": "Provider returned error",
  "code": 400,
  "metadata": {
    "raw": "{\"type\":\"error\",\"error\":{\"type\":\"invalid_request_error\",\"message\":\"messages.4.content.0.tool_result.tool_use_id: Field required\"}}",
    "provider_name": "Anthropic"
  }
}

Replace existing code with a \"lazy\" comment like this: \"// ... existing code ...\"\n5. The \"lazy\" comment must always be a valid comment in the current context (e.g. \"<!-- ... existing code ... -->\" for HTML, \"// ... existing code ...\" for JavaScript, \"{/* ... existing code */}\" for TSX, etc.)\n6. You must always provide 1-2 lines of context above and below a \"lazy\" comment\n7. If the user submits a code block that contains a filename in the language specifier, always include the filename in any code block you generate based on that file. The filename should be on the same line as the language specifier in your code block.\n\nExample 1:\nInput:\ntest.js\nimport addition from \"addition\"\n\nclass Calculator {\n  constructor() {\n    this.result = 0;\n  }\n    \n  add(number) {\n    this.result += number;\n    return this;\n  }\n}\n```\nUser request: Add a subtract method\n\nOutput:\n```javascript test.js\n// ... existing code ...\nimport subtraction from \"subtraction\"\n\nclass Calculator {\n  // ... existing code ...\n  \n  subtract(number) {\n    this.result -= number;\n    return this;\n  }\n}\n```\n\nExample 2:\nInput:\n```javascript test.js (6-9)\nfunction helloWorld() {}\n```\n\nOutput:\n```javascript test.js\nfunction helloWorld() {\n  // New code here\n}\n```\n\nAlways follow these guidelines when generating code responses.\n\nWhen using tools, follow the following guidelines:\n- Avoid calling tools unless they are absolutely necessary. For example, if you are asked a simple programming question you do not need web search. As another example, if the user asks you to explain something about code, do not create a new file."
