Description
We have several dotnet tools defined in the local tool manifest of our repository.
Some of those tools are needed only for specific tasks or pipelines, but I found no way to restore only a single tool to the version defined in the manifest (currently using 9.0.301):
```
dotnet tool install MyTool.Cli
```
always does an update, I have no way to skip that.
```
dotnet tool restore
```
restores all tools defined in the manifest.
It would be very helpful, if either `dotnet tool install` had an option to skip updates, or `dotnet tool restore` had an option to restore only a single tool by its name.
