The search_workspace tool (Slack's assistant.search.context API) was causing the leader to search Slack for answers to code questions instead of delegating to the right specialist. Removing it keeps the leader focused on code coordination via its member agents. Retains search_messages for basic thread/channel context lookups.

Reported by @ashpreetsingh — the workspace search tools were confusing Coda's routing, causing it to search Slack messages instead of delegating code questions to Explorer.
