- PR #140815: fix(mcp): keep prompts/resources when mcp configure rewrites the tool filters

Three members concern how \`hermes mcp configure\` changes a server's tool configuration. One bug report says checking every tool deletes the whole \`tools\` block, and two fix-style titles mention preserving tool settings and keeping prompts/resources when filters are rewritten. Titles alone do not show the exact mechanism or current status.
