czlonkowski 821ace310e refactor: Improve DISABLED_TOOLS implementation based on code review
Performance Optimization:
- Add caching to getDisabledTools() to prevent 3x parsing per request
- Cache result as instance property disabledToolsCache
- Reduces overhead from 3x to 1x per server instance

Security Improvements:
- Fix information disclosure in error responses
- Only reveal the attempted tool name, not full list of disabled tools
- Prevents leaking security configuration details

Safety Limits:
- Add 10KB maximum length for DISABLED_TOOLS environment variable
- Add 200-tool maximum limit to prevent abuse
- Include warnings when limits are exceeded

Code Quality:
- Add clarifying comment for defense-in-depth guard in executeTool()
- Change logging level from info to debug for frequent operations
- Add comprehensive JSDoc to TestableN8NMCPServer test classes
- Document test wrapper pattern and exposed methods

Test Updates:
- Update test to verify 200-tool safety limit enforcement
- All 45 tests passing with improved coverage
