Reason I felt like they are closely connected are because for designing tools for lets say coding agents, you have to be thoughful of context engineering.

Eg linear MCP is notorious for giving large JSONs which quickly fill up context and hard for model to understand. So tools need to be designed slightly differently for agents keeping context engineering in mind compared to how you design them for humans.

Context engineering feels like more central and first-principle approach of designing tools, agent loops.
