Add readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations to all 15 tools to help LLMs better understand tool behavior and make safer decisions. Changes: - Added readOnlyHint: true to 10 read-only tools (plan_task, analyze_task, reflect_task, list_tasks, verify_task, query_task, get_task_detail, process_thought, init_project_rules, research_mode) - Added destructiveHint: true to 5 tools that modify data (split_tasks, execute_task, delete_task, clear_all_tasks, update_task) - Added title annotations for human-readable display This improves tool safety metadata for MCP clients.
