## Docstring Standards Applied
Each fixed docstring includes:
1. **Comprehensive Description** (2-5 sentences)
2. **SUPPORTED OPERATIONS** section with detailed descriptions
3. **Complete Args Documentation** with:
- Type information
- Required vs optional status
- Default values
- Constraints and ranges
- Examples
4. **Detailed Returns** section with structure for each operation
5. **Raises** section with specific exceptions
6. **Usage** section with:
- Common workflows
- Best practices
7. **Examples** section with:
- Multiple examples per operation
- Error handling examples
8. **Notes** section with important considerations

## Impact
**Before:** Brief 50-100 line docstrings missing critical information
**After:** Comprehensive 200+ line docstrings with all required FastMCP 2.12 standards
This enables AI assistants (Claude, etc.) to properly understand and use the portmanteau tools without guessing.

## Next Steps
1. Fix remaining 4 tools (reporting, integration, help, status)
2. Verify all docstrings with ruff
3. Test tool discovery and usage
4. Update documentation
