Code Review

This pull request introduces evaluation tests for the grep_search tool and updates its description to guide the model towards using the more performant ripgrep-based implementation. The new tests are comprehensive and cover various tool parameters, which is a great addition. However, I've identified an inconsistency in the new tool description regarding the match limits, which could confuse the model. My review includes suggestions to align the documentation for clarity and correctness.
