Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the existing protocol definitions for hostCapabilities and serverTools, then determine whether appTools needs equivalent host capability signaling and document the required compatibility behavior for hosts that do not support it.

Description

hi! noob question, we implemented app tools in our client and i was wondering if we should have a hostCapabilities.appTools (similar to serverTools) so apps can adjust their experiences whether a host support app tools or not (eg render different UIs)
