docs: default custom tool creation to plugins

Browse Source 
Steers custom tool creation toward the plugin route by default.
The adding-tools.md guide is now explicitly for built-in core Hermes
tools only.

Key fixes:
- Plugin quickstart: ctx.register_tool() now uses correct keyword-arg
  API (name=, toolset=, schema=, handler=) instead of broken 3-arg call
- Handler signature: (params, **kwargs) instead of (params)
- Handler return: json.dumps({...}) instead of plain string
- AGENTS.md: mentions plugin route before built-in tool instructions
- learning-path.md: plugins listed before core tool development
- contributing.md: separates plugin vs core tool paths

:::tip
Tools are individual functions the agent can call. Skills are bundles of tools, prompts, and configuration packaged together. Start with tools, graduate to skills.
For most custom tool creation, start with plugins. The [Adding Tools](/docs/developer-guide/adding-tools)
page is for built-in Hermes core development, not the usual user/custom-tool path.
