Jev agent loop now needs an LLM in only two places

For my Jev-based agentic loop there are now only two places I need an LLM as a tool: summarization & parameter parsing. Initially I was using the LLM to create a filter criteria for items returned from tool calls (like how your AI code assistant defines grep & find calls). But now I'm just having Jev do the filtering. It can't create a filter criteria like an LLM, but for small enough data sets, Jev can just do the semantic filter - which is probably more accurate than generated filter criteria.
