Root cause: AI agents were placing error handling properties inside `parameters` instead of at node level
Major changes:
- Enhanced workflow validator to check for ALL node-level properties (expanded from 6 to 11)

- Updated all examples to use modern error handling (onError instead of continueOnFail)
- Added comprehensive node-level properties documentation in tools_documentation
- Enhanced MCP tool documentation for n8n_create_workflow and n8n_update_partial_workflow
- Added test script demonstrating correct node-level property usage
Node-level properties now validated:

- onError, retryOnFail, maxTries, waitBetweenTries, alwaysOutputData
- continueOnFail (deprecated)
Validation improvements:
- Detects misplaced properties and provides clear fix examples
