Add getConfluenceFooterCommentChildren tool for fetching nested/reply comments

[Jaimal Chohan]

The current getConfluencePageFooterComments tool only returns top-level comments on a page. There's no way to fetch child/reply comments through the MCP.

When reviewing Confluence page discussions, users need to see the full comment thread including replies, not just top-level comments. The existing tool uses the /wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/footer-comments endpoint which does not return nested comments.

Add a new tool that exposes the existing Confluence REST API v2 endpoint:

GET /wiki/api/v2/footer-comments/{comment-id}/children

A similar tool may be needed for inline comments: getConfluenceInlineCommentChildren

MCP servers add more tool calls / functionality all the time. (Which is why MCP servers can actually drive context bloat... there are eventually too many calls available for the agent to sort through.(

Good call out for this one. Seems like an oversight not to have replies.
