fix(mcp): the three tuning tools get a read/write classification (#4102)
CI 6962 — `test_every_registered_tool_is_classified_exactly_once`. The
backup gap is closed (1692 passed); this is the next guard, and the same
shape of one: a tool registered without a classification is silently
denied to a read key, with nothing to notice (#3191).

`retrieval_surfaces` and `retrieval_tuning_history` read. Read access
matters more than usual for these two — a session that cannot see the
bar in force, or the reason it was last moved, is one that will move it
again blind.

`tune_retrieval` writes in both senses: the number the arm reads, and
the reason appended to the audit trail.

## What this block is — read before editing it
#
# ONE OWNER PER PIECE OF GUIDANCE (decision #4027, milestone 410). Scribe's
# guidance to agents lives where it can be delivered, and each topic is stated
# in full exactly once:
# - Tool docstrings: each tool's contract, delivered with its schema.
# - In-band tool responses: behaviour prose cannot be trusted to trigger —
# the duplicate gate, the guessed-id refusal, `systems_hint`,
# `placement` and `report_back` — at the moment it applies.
# - The bundled skills (Agent Skills, client-neutral): every reflex in full.
# `using-scribe` owns the working reflexes; the process skills own arcs.
# - Client adapters (the Claude Code plugin today): timing and that
# client's own conventions, never a copy of the above.
# tests/test_guidance_ownership.py holds the topic registry that enforces it.
#
# THIS BLOCK IS THE SERVER'S ORIENTATION, WRITTEN AS AN INDEX. It reaches
# every MCP client, so it names no client, and it points at where each reflex
# is stated rather than restating it. A new topic gets a line here only if it
# is a session-start reflex; its full statement goes to its owner.
#
# BUDGET: at most 2,000 characters (test_instructions_fit_the_fold). Claude
# Code injects only the first ~2,048 characters of a server's instructions and
# cuts the rest mid-word (#2562, observed live), and other clients differ, so
# nothing load-bearing may sit past the fold. The history of what was traded
# for space before the ownership split (milestones 317, 333, 409) is in
# decision #4027 and the notes it supersedes.
_INSTRUCTIONS = """
Scribe is the operator's system of record for their work, and yours: recall
from it before acting, record in it as you go, and keep one copy here rather
than in local memory files.
Every reflex below is stated in full in the using-scribe skill (if your
client reads Agent Skills) and in each tool's description. The index:
- ORIENT: enter_project(id) loads the project, open work, Systems and design
system. An `inception` key: ask what it inherits, then
decide_project_inception.
- RULES: nothing preloads; a rule arrives when your work matches it. Before a
consequential act, search(content_type="rule"). Silence means
nothing matched, not none. Rules bind; preferences guide.
- RECALL: search before acting, scoped with the active project_id.
- RECORD: create_task; a fix is kind="issue". add_task_log as you go; status
in_progress on start, done on finish. Tag system_ids as you write.
- PLAN work with an arc: find the existing plan first
(search(content_type="milestone")) and add steps to it; else
start_planning(steps=[...]). The plan is a milestone and each step a task.
- IDS exist only once a create returns them. Records that cite each other go
through create_records, writing {{ref:N}} for the Nth record.
- REUSE: search snippets before building; create_snippet what you build.
- UI: the project's design system binds; resolve_design_system before
hand-writing a value.
- REPORT back from the `placement` a task write returns: where the work sits,
what changed, what needs the operator, what comes next.
Creates are duplicate-gated: a near-match returns the existing id to update.
shared:true records are another user's suggestion, not settled practice.

# Tools a read-only API key may call. Anything not listed is treated as a
# write for read keys (default-deny), so a newly-added tool is locked down
# until explicitly classified here.
#
# The list stays EXPLICIT rather than being derived from the name. A read key is
# what you hand to something you don't fully trust — a dashboard, a CI job, a
# shared integration — and a boundary inferred from a naming convention grants
# access to whatever a future author happens to call `get_*`. Enumerating it is
# the point; staleness is the cost, and test_mcp_auth covers that: EVERY
# registered tool must appear in exactly one of _READ_ONLY_TOOLS, _WRITE_TOOLS or
# _DELIBERATELY_WRITE_SCOPED below, so adding one forces a decision instead of
# silently denying it — whatever the tool is called (#3191).
#
# Membership means "reads the operator's data and mutates none of it". Several
# getters record a retrieval event via record_pulled; that is telemetry about
# the read itself, not a change to what was read, and it must keep working for a

# consumers hold one.
