Pull request overview
This PR removes old non-consolidated GitHub Actions tools that have been superseded by newer consolidated tools (ActionsList, ActionsGet, ActionsRunTrigger, ActionsGetJobLogs). The changes clean up the codebase by removing the deprecated individual tool implementations and their feature flag system while preserving the helper functions still used by the consolidated tools.
Key changes:
- Removed 15 individual Actions tool function definitions and their registrations
- Removed the
FeatureFlagConsolidatedActionsconstant and all feature flag assignments - Removed 1,800+ lines of test code for the old individual tools
- Deleted 13 toolsnap files for the removed tools
- Updated README.md to remove documentation for deprecated tools
