agent: Fix tool paths preferring files in subdirectories named after the project root (#56230)

The tool definition is very clearly contradicting the previous behavior.
Performance impact is unclear to me, we increase the work in a
potentially expensive loop, but it seems necessary to have both the
specified behavior from the tool definition, as well as the
heuristic/fallback for misbehaving models that seems to be intended.
