Summary
outputSchemafor every full MCPtools/listdefinition, covering all 24 structured tools.tooldiscriminators on success and typed-error payloads, including direct calls, batch-query children, and projected status results.Why
MCP clients could inspect input schemas but had no machine-readable contract for structured tool results. This made success, partial, and typed-error payloads difficult to validate or generate against, and permissive compatibility fields could hide incomplete or mismatched tool responses.
User impact
Clients can now validate full-catalog MCP structured results against tool-specific schemas. Compact catalogs remain lightweight and direct clients to the full definitions.
