6 tools, about 835 tokens when enabled.

Enabled with the `tools.enable` tool, or `argus-agent --toolsets vfx`. Calling any of its tools also turns it on.

| Tool | Tokens | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `vfx.describe` | 90 | Every setting of a *.vfx.json: unit, range, default and what it does to the look. |
| `vfx.explain` | 157 | Plain reasons from the measurements, each with a fix: nothing alive and why, a short pool, no lift, too faint, under a pixel. |
| `vfx.patch` | 197 | RFC 6902 ops on a project *.vfx.json, all or nothing; emitters by name (/emitters/@smoke/init/life). |
| `vfx.read` | 69 | An effect file as written, or a preset's source to copy from; a preset is read-only. |
| `vfx.report` | 149 | What an effect does, measured with no GPU: live against capacity, dropped spawns, rise and spread, pixel width at distances, lints. |
| `vfx.sheet` | 173 | Draws an effect on a fixed stage at set moments and distances into one labelled PNG, with an optional param sweep. |
