fix: replace unsafe ast.literal_eval() with secure alternative to prevent code injection

- Remove unsafe ast.literal_eval() usage in _validate_tool_input method
- Implement _safe_literal_parse() with strict input validation
- Add dangerous pattern detection to block __import__, exec, eval, lambda, etc.
- Support limited Python literal syntax (strings, numbers, booleans, None, lists, dicts)
- Only allow specific safe characters in input
- Maintain backward compatibility for valid tool inputs

Fixes security vulnerability where malicious tool_input could execute arbitrary Python code.
