feat: implement AI-optimized MCP tools with 95% size reduction

- Add get_node_essentials tool for 10-20 essential properties only
- Add search_node_properties for targeted property search
- Add get_node_for_task with 14 pre-configured templates
- Add validate_node_config for comprehensive validation
- Add get_property_dependencies for visibility analysis
- Implement PropertyFilter service with curated essentials
- Implement ExampleGenerator with working examples
- Implement TaskTemplates for common workflows
- Implement ConfigValidator with security checks
- Implement PropertyDependencies for dependency analysis
- Enhance property descriptions to 100% coverage
- Add version information to essentials response
- Update documentation with new tools

Response sizes reduced from 100KB+ to <5KB for better AI agent usability.
