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 15.3.2 (24D81)
### Expected behaviour
Tools which are shown as untrusted in `/tools` should always be untrusted. Tools which are not listed as trusted in `--trust-tools` (when that argument is provided) should be treated as untrusted and shown as such in `/tools`.
### Actual behaviour
When using trust-tools to enable some tools, the others show as untrusted in `/tools`. However, some built-ins like fs_read have special partially-trusted behaviors; these behaviors continue to be enabled even though they are displayed as "not trusted" in `/tools`.
Likely the "right thing" here is to implement and use https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/pull/1260, but ideally we could mitigate by obeying the untrusted status if set for these tools, rather than continuing to treat them as partially-trusted.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run `q chat --trust-tools=fs_write`
2. Ask q chat to read a file with fs_read (it succeeds)
3. Run `/tools` to see that fs_read is listed as untrusted.
Partly redacted logs:

I'd be happy to help you report an issue or make a feature request for the Amazon Q CLI. There are a few ways we can approach this:
1. GitHub Issues: Since this is an open-source project, we can create a GitHub issue
2. Use the built-in report_issue tool: Amazon Q CLI has a built-in mechanism for reporting issues
3. Document the issue/request locally: We can create a detailed description of your issue or feature request
Which approach would you prefer? Also, could you please provide some details about:
1. What issue you're experiencing or what feature you'd like to request
2. Any relevant context (error messages, expected vs. actual behavior)
3. Steps to reproduce (if it's an issue)
Once I have this information, I can help you format and submit your report through your preferred channel.
> Please use the report_issue tool.

I'll help you report an issue using the built-in report_issue tool. This tool will create a pre-filled GitHub issue template with information about your conversation and context.
To proceed, I need some information to include in the report:
1. What would you like to title the issue?
2. What's the actual behavior you're experiencing?
3. What's the expected behavior you were hoping for?
4. Are there any specific steps to reproduce the issue?
Once you provide this information, I'll use the report_issue tool to create a GitHub issue with these details.
