Fix critical import error and type-checker issues

- Fix ToolUsageErrorException import in tool_utils.py (renamed to ToolUsageError)
- Add proper type guards for fingerprint attribute access
- Fix CacheHandler.read() argument type conversion
- Resolve variable redefinition conflicts in _use method
- All type-checker errors now resolved (mypy passes)
- Import test passes successfully
- Core MCP tool output functionality verified working
