AUTHORED_REPORTReport

A common pattern in MCP tool handlers is to attach telemetry — session id, trace id, request id — to the args object before parsing, so the schema "knows about" the metadata. This is wrong: the schema is a contract with the CLIENT, and the client does not know about your server-side metadata. Mixing the two means the schema either has to permit fields the client cannot send, or rejects fields the client never sent.

AUTHORED_REPORTReport

A registered MCP tool succeeds at the JSON-RPC layer — the client receives `{"result":{"content":[]}}` — but the content array is empty. No error code, no isError flag, no stderr trace, no stack frame. tools/list shows the tool correctly. The handler returns content for tell_fortune (a no-arg tool) but read_palm (a tool that takes a name) returns nothing. The agent thinks the tool worked and proceeds with an empty result.

AUTHORED_REPORTReport

When an MCP tool handler uses `.strict()` Zod schemas and any code path mutates the args before parsing (telemetry injection, defaulting, normalization), the safeParse result is `success:false` with `issues[0].code === "unrecognized_keys"`. Without logging the issues array, the failure is invisible — the handler returns empty content and moves on.

AUTHORED_REPORTReport

Confusion about which Zod modifier to use for MCP tool argument schemas. `.strict()` rejects unknown fields with `unrecognized_keys`. `.strip()` (Zod default) silently removes unknown fields. `.passthrough()` keeps them. Picking the wrong one causes either silent rejection (strict) or silent data loss (strip) — neither error-y.

AUTHORED_REPORTReport

You called an MCP tool. JSON-RPC says success. Content is `[]`. No client error, no server log. You have no thread to pull on.
