Notes

• RS3 only, not OSRS (different IDs and endpoints).
• Ironman/hardcore index_lite endpoints are documented by Jagex but currently return HTTP 404; the tool reports that instead of silently returning normal-mode data.
• Smithery hosts should rebuild the server card after tool changes so the published schema matches this README.
