The MCP plugin's find tool is missing several useful arguments supported by payload.find / payload.findByID:
populate — controls which fields to include from populated documents, useful for reducing response size
joins — controls join field queries; can pass false to disable all join fields
trash — includes soft-deleted documents in query results
pagination — set to false to skip the count query overhead
These should be added as optional parameters to the find tool's schema and passed through to the underlying calls.
