tool_operate: Changed the required argument check/get to be upfront

Rather than check for required arguments, and prompt for any host and
proxy passwords, as each operation is performed, changed the code so
all configurations are checked before any operations are performed.

This allows the user to input all the required passwords, for example,
upfront rather than wait for each operation.
