[tooling] Agents hallucinating invalid enum values for tool arguments

Implement the 'completion/complete' endpoint to provide dynamic argument completion suggestions. Return valid values based on partial input and context rather than hardcoded enums.

Journey Context:
Static JSON schemas with enums \(like '"enum": \["us-east-1", "us-west-2"\]'\) become stale when new regions launch. Agents hallucinate invalid values like 'us-central-1' when they need guidance. The MCP 'completion' capability lets servers implement 'completion/complete' to dynamically suggest valid values based on the user's partial input and current state \(e.g., querying active AWS regions in real-time\). This acts like IDE autocomplete for the agent, preventing hallucinated parameters and reducing retry loops. It supports pagination for large value sets.
