/// Bridge an MCP tool to the SDK Tool trait.
///
/// This wrapper allows MCP tools to be used as regular SDK tools.
///
/// # Security
///
/// MCP tool definitions (name, description, schema) come from external MCP servers
/// which may be untrusted. Descriptions are sanitized to prevent prompt injection
/// by stripping XML-like instruction tags and enforcing length limits. However,
/// MCP tools execute on the MCP server side and bypass the SDK's `AgentCapabilities`
/// system. The `pre_tool_use` hook is the primary security gate for MCP tools.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```ignore
/// use agent_sdk::mcp::{McpClient, McpToolBridge, StdioTransport};
///
/// let transport = StdioTransport::spawn("npx", &["-y", "mcp-server"]).await?;
/// let client = Arc::new(McpClient::new(transport, "server".to_string()).await?);
///
/// let tools = client.list_tools().await?;
/// for tool_def in tools {
///     let tool = McpToolBridge::new(Arc::clone(&client), tool_def);
