Renamed tool from g0t4/mcp-server-commands to runProcess with explicit mode selection

Full changelog

runProcess renaming/redesign

Recently I renamed the tool to runProcess to better reflect that you can run more than just shell commands with it. There are two explicit modes now:

  1. mode=executable where you pass argv with argv[0] representing the executable file and then the rest of the array contains args to it.
  2. mode=shell where you pass command_line (just like typing into bash/fish/pwsh/etc) which will use your system's default shell.

I hate APIs that make ambiguous if you're executing something via a shell, or not. I hate it being a toggle b/c there's way more to running a shell command vs exec than just flipping a switch. So I made that explicit in the new tool's parameters

If you want your model to use specific shell(s) on a system, I would list them in your system prompt. Or, maybe in your tool instructions, though models tend to pay better attention to examples in a system prompt.

I've used this new design with gptoss-120b extensively and it went off without a hitch, no issues switching as the model doesn't care about names nor even the redesigned mode part, it all seems to "make sense" to gptoss.

Let me know if you encounter problems!
