Convert tool responses from JSON to YAML to reduce token consumption

[Copilot]

Tool responses are now formatted as YAML instead of JSON, reducing output size by ~31% to optimize token consumption in LLM contexts.

Changes

• Added js-yaml dependency for YAML serialization
• Introduced formatResponse() helper that replaces all JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) calls (88 instances)
• Updated test suite to parse YAML responses

Format Comparison

Before (442 chars):

{
  "id": 12345,
  "title": "Test Issue",
  "state": "opened",
  "author": {
    "id": 1,
    "username": "testuser"
  }
}

After (306 chars):

id: 12345
title: Test Issue
state: opened
author:
  id: 1
  username: testuser

YAML's compact syntax (no quotes on keys/strings, minimal punctuation) achieves significant size reduction while preserving data structure semantics. The MCP protocol layer (JSON-RPC) remains unchanged—only the content payload format is modified.
