Description
### Describe the bug
The consolidated tools that dispatch on a method argument return a bare unknown method: when the method is unrecognized, without listing the valid methods. `labels.go` already does the helpful thing ("... Supported methods are: create, update, delete"); the other method-dispatch tools don't, so the behavior is inconsistent.
Separately, `pull_request_review_write` decodes arguments with `mapstructure.WeakDecode` (it does not use RequiredParam like the other tools), so omitting the required method produces "unknown method: " with an empty value — instead of telling the caller that method is required.
Affected tools: `pull_request_read`, `pull_request_review_write`, `issue_read`, sub-issue write, actions (list/get/run), projects (list/get/write), ui_get.
### Affected version
Version: v1.3.0
Commit: 34227037fc48771baea9af7163e28cb6556ef287
Build Date: 2026-06-11T14:16:55Z
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Call `pull_request_review_write` with the required method omitted, e.g. `{ "owner": "o", "repo": "r", "pullNumber": 42 }`.
2. View the output.
3. Server returns (tool-result error, HTTP 200 `isError`):
`unknown method: `
(empty after the colon — method was never supplied, but the error doesn't say it's required or what the valid values are).
Or, with an unrecognized value `{ "method": "bogus", ... }`:
`unknown method: bogus`
No list of supported methods. The same bare error occurs on pull_request_read, issue_read, actions_*, projects_*, and ui_get for any unrecognized method.
### Expected vs actual behavior
Expected: the error names the supported methods (matching labels.go, e.g. unknown method: bogus. Supported methods are: create, submit_pending, delete_pending, resolve_thread, unresolve_thread), and an omitted required method reports method is required. Supported methods are: ....
Actual: a bare unknown method: with no guidance; for pull_request_review_write an omitted method yields unknown method: (empty), which reads like a routing bug rather than a missing required argument.
