Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue

### Operating system

macOS 15.5.0 (24F74)

### Expected behaviour

Allow users to configure certain tools to be auto-approved for execution without requiring manual approval each time. This could be implemented through a local configuration file or as part of the MCP server configuration or the Q CLI configuration.

### Actual behaviour

Currently all tool executions require manual approval in the Q CLI, which slows down workflows when using frequently-needed tools.

### Steps to reproduce

User attempts to use tools repeatedly in a conversation and must approve each tool execution individually, even for trusted tools that are used frequently, and for example run in a read-only mode.
