Description

RTK only registers a BeforeTool hook on run_shell_command. But when Gemini CLI uses --yolo to read files, it uses the read_file tool

Can we extend rtk to hook into read_file also?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing BeforeTool hook for run shell command in RTK, then implement a similar hook for read file tool following the same pattern.
