Return shape and prompt tips

• The tool returns a narrative answer plus citations the web UI can render as “Source” blocks. In MCP, this is still primarily text with structured fragments where the worker attaches them.
• Prompt tips for candidates:
  • Name the topic and, if you know it, the instrument (e.g. “RSTP Art. 20”, “FFAR 2022”) to steer retrieval.
  • Ask for “cite the official PDF and page” to force a careful pass when studying.
  • If you are over quota for the month, you can still use **get_lesson**, **list_materials**, and free PDFs — the assistant is the only gated general Q&A on anonymous tier.
