Research direction

Review the mcp/dockerhub server details and source repository at https://github.com/docker/hub-mcp, then inspect its listed tools and native HTTP transport. Define the scope before starting: document all tools comprehensively, test the API endpoints using HUB_PAT_TOKEN, and decide whether the Rust rewrite is in scope.
