Release v1.95.0 adds native Tool Search for Anthropic and OpenAI with custom strategies, while deprecating several Agent API patterns and renaming built‑in tools to native tools.

Why it matters: Plan migrations: rename 'built-in tools' to 'native tools', update registration via capabilities=[NativeTool(...)], and replace deprecated Agent(instrument=...) with Instrumentation capability before the next upgrade cycle.
