Research direction

Start by locating the design documents referenced in the issue and review how orders and subscriptions currently represent tools options. Define a shared top-level tools specification and the distinct outputs for each target, then propose the spec in a design-document pull request. The issue considers the design agreement the first completion point; implementation follows afterward.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feedback ux

We can help users a lot by letting them use the command-line to specify what 'tools' options they want.

I think it makes sense to create a top level 'tools', with target outputs for subscriptions and orders. They have slightly different syntaxes, and the list of tools isn't exactly the same, so the output for each will be different. But from a user perspective there is a lot of overlap, so we should let users specify common operations in the same way.

First step is probably to agree on the 'spec', probably as a pull request to one of the design docs, and after we agree on that we can code it up.
