czlonkowski 24d775960b 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.
