Add readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations to all 5 MCP tools to help LLMs better understand tool behavior and make safer decisions. Changes: - Bump MCP SDK from ^1.5.0 to ^1.8.0 for annotation support - Added readOnlyHint: true to 3 read-only tools (list_projects, list_project_files, memory_bank_read) - Added destructiveHint: false to memory_bank_write (creates new files) - Added destructiveHint: true to memory_bank_update (modifies existing) - Added human-readable title annotations to all tools This improves tool safety metadata for MCP clients. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
