 Mechanical MCP projection of the capability registry (generator-design section 7, ARCHITECTURE section 19.5).
 Tool names are the plan `mcpTool` columns (entity-first `autotask_<entity>_<verb>`); descriptions are the
 registry `purpose` + a mechanical bounds/flags sentence; annotations derive from `effect` + `flags`.
 Curation edits live ONLY in `MCP_TOOL_OVERRIDES.json` (records `{ tool, field, newValue, reason }`).
