feat: Fix type mismatch error in rpc.discover response handling

- Correctly handle the complex JSON response of the `rpc.discover`
  method by using `map[string]string` instead of `string`.  This
  addresses a type mismatch error that prevented proper parsing of
  the API specification.
- Improve error handling and provide more informative output to the
  user during the API discovery process.
- Add detailed analysis and recommendations for handling complex JSON
  responses in similar scenarios.
