[Request]: add started date in containers metadata about 1 year ago

AI Summary: Add a 'started date' field to the metadata of containers listed by the `container ls` command, allowing users to sort containers by their start time. This involves modifying the `container` tool's output to include a timestamp representing the container's start time, similar to the `CreatedAt` field in Docker or Podman.

Complexity: 4/5
