Having Tool/ToolParam/ToolAnnotations/ToolResult  annotations as part of the mcp itself rather than spring or any other specific framework would aid in that effort.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/scottslewis","@type":"Person","name":"scottslewis"},"datePublished":"2025-05-07T18:37:06.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/224/java-sdk/issues/224"}
