Description

The install command reads tool definitions from one or more YAML files (or from standard input) and installs them according to the specified configuration.

If no file is specified, it defaults to using tools.yml in the current directory.

Additionally, it will respect the GODYL_TOOLS environment variable, as well as the tools key in the config file.
