refactor: rewrite all MCP tool documentation for AI agent optimization

- Redesigned documentation to be utilitarian and AI-agent focused - Removed all pleasantries, emojis, and conversational language - Added concrete numbers throughout (528 nodes, 108 triggers, 264 AI tools) - Updated all tool descriptions with practical, actionable information - Enhanced examples with actual return structures and usage patterns - Made Code node guides prominently featured in overview - Verified documentation accuracy through extensive testing - Standardized format across all 30+ tool documentation files Documentation now optimized for token efficiency while maintaining clarity and completeness for AI agent consumption. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

+Essential patterns for JavaScript in n8n Code nodes.
+
+**Key Concepts**:
+- Access all items: \`$input.all()\` (not items[0])
+- Current item data: \`$json\`
+- Return format: \`[{json: {...}}]\` (array of objects)
+
+**Available Helpers**:
+- \`$helpers.httpRequest()\` - Make HTTP requests
+- \`$jmespath()\` - Query JSON data
+- \`DateTime\` - Luxon for date handling
+
+**Common Patterns**:
+\`\`\`javascript
+// Process all items
+const allItems = $input.all();
+return allItems.map(item => ({
+  json: {
+    processed: true,
+    original: item.json,
+    timestamp: DateTime.now().toISO()
+  }
+}));
+\`\`\`
+
+**Tips**:
+- Webhook data is under \`.body\` property
+- Use async/await for HTTP requests
+- Always return array format

+
+Comprehensive guide for using JavaScript in n8n Code nodes.
+
+## Data Access Patterns
+
+### Accessing Input Data
+\`\`\`javascript
+// Get all items from previous node
+const allItems = $input.all();
+
+// Get specific node's output
+const webhookData = $node["Webhook"].json;
+
+// Current item in loop
+const currentItem = $json;
+
+// First item only
+const firstItem = $input.first().json;
+\`\`\`
+
+### Webhook Data Structure
+**CRITICAL**: Webhook data is nested under \`.body\`:
+\`\`\`javascript
+// WRONG - Won't work
+const data = $json.name;
+
+// CORRECT - Webhook data is under body
+const data = $json.body.name;
+\`\`\`
+
+## Available Built-in Functions
+
+### HTTP Requests
+\`\`\`javascript
+// Make HTTP request
+const response = await $helpers.httpRequest({
+  method: 'GET',
+  url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
+  headers: {
+    'Authorization': 'Bearer token'
+  }
+});
+\`\`\`
+
+### Date/Time Handling
+\`\`\`javascript
+// Using Luxon DateTime
+const now = DateTime.now();
+const formatted = now.toFormat('yyyy-MM-dd');
+const iso = now.toISO();
+const plus5Days = now.plus({ days: 5 });
+\`\`\`
+
+### JSON Querying
+\`\`\`javascript
+// JMESPath queries
+const result = $jmespath($json, "users[?age > 30].name");
+\`\`\`
+
+## Return Format Requirements
+
+### Correct Format
+\`\`\`javascript
+// MUST return array of objects with json property
+return [{
+  json: {
+    result: "success",
+    data: processedData
+  }
+}];
+
+// Multiple items
+return items.map(item => ({
+  json: {
+    id: item.id,
+    processed: true
+  }
+}));
+\`\`\`
+
+### Binary Data
+\`\`\`javascript
+// Return with binary data
+return [{
+  json: { filename: "report.pdf" },
+  binary: {
+    data: Buffer.from(pdfContent).toString('base64')
+  }
+}];
+\`\`\`
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Processing Webhook Data
+\`\`\`javascript
+// Extract webhook payload
+const webhookBody = $json.body;
+const { username, email, items } = webhookBody;
+
+// Process and return
+return [{
+  json: {
+    username,
+    email,
+    itemCount: items.length,
+    processedAt: DateTime.now().toISO()
+  }
+}];
+\`\`\`
+
+### Aggregating Data
+\`\`\`javascript
+// Sum values across all items
+const allItems = $input.all();
+const total = allItems.reduce((sum, item) => {
+  return sum + (item.json.amount || 0);
+}, 0);
+
+return [{
+  json: { 
+    total,
+    itemCount: allItems.length,
+    average: total / allItems.length
+  }
+}];
+\`\`\`
+
+### Error Handling
+\`\`\`javascript
+try {
+  const response = await $helpers.httpRequest({
+    url: 'https://api.example.com/data'
+  });
+  
+  return [{
+    json: {
+      success: true,
+      data: response
+    }
+  }];
+} catch (error) {
+  return [{
+    json: {
+      success: false,
+      error: error.message
+    }
+  }];
+}
+\`\`\`

+## Available Node.js Modules
+- crypto (built-in)
+- Buffer
+- URL/URLSearchParams
+- Basic Node.js globals
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+1. Using \`items[0]\` instead of \`$input.all()\`
+2. Forgetting webhook data is under \`.body\`
+3. Returning plain objects instead of \`[{json: {...}}]\`
+4. Using \`require()\` for external modules (not allowed)
+5. Trying to use expression syntax \`{{}}\` inside code
+
+## Best Practices
+1. Always validate input data exists before accessing
+2. Use try-catch for HTTP requests
+3. Return early on validation failures
+4. Keep code simple and readable
+5. Use descriptive variable names

+
+## Limitations & Workarounds
+
+### No External Libraries
+\`\`\`python
+# CANNOT USE:
+# import requests  # Not available
+# import pandas   # Not available
+# import numpy    # Not available
+
+# WORKAROUND: Use JavaScript Code node for HTTP requests
+# Or use HTTP Request node before Code node
+\`\`\`
+
+### HTTP Requests Alternative
+Since Python requests library is not available, use:
+1. JavaScript Code node with $helpers.httpRequest()
+2. HTTP Request node before your Python Code node
+3. Webhook node to receive data
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+1. Trying to import external libraries (requests, pandas)
+2. Using items[0] instead of _input.all()
+3. Forgetting webhook data is under ["body"]
+4. Returning dictionaries instead of [{"json": {...}}]
+5. Not handling missing keys with .get()
+
+## Best Practices
+1. Always use .get() for dictionary access
+2. Validate data before processing
+3. Handle empty input arrays
+4. Use list comprehensions for transformations
+5. Return meaningful error messages
+
+## Type Conversions
+\`\`\`python
+# String to number
+value = float(_json.get("amount", "0"))
+
+# Boolean conversion
+is_active = str(_json.get("active", "")).lower() == "true"
+
+# Safe JSON parsing
+try:
+    data = json.loads(_json.get("json_string", "{}"))
+except json.JSONDecodeError:
+    data = {}
