perf(agent-tools): shrink MCP tool catalog context cost (#1939)

Drop advertised MCP output schemas (no supported harness forwards them to the model) and remove the redundant wait_for_agent tool. Core agent tool catalog drops ~20.5k -> ~5.6k estimated tokens; ~24.9k -> ~9k with browser tools. Runtime structuredContent is preserved via server-side text serialization. Also corrects the agent-wait timeout guidance for blocking callers.

### Agent Tool Catalog Measurement
Measure the MCP `tools/list` payload that Paseo injects into agents with:
```bash
npm run measure:agent-tools --workspace=@getpaseo/server
```
The command reports compact JSON bytes, estimated tokens, field totals, largest
tools, and the browser-tools delta. It defaults to the agent-scoped catalog; use
`-- --scope=top-level` for the unaffiliated `/mcp/agents` shape and `-- --json`
for machine-readable output.
## paseo.json service scripts
`worktree.setup` and `worktree.teardown` accept either a multiline shell script or an array
