X Title: docs(tools): discuss tool name conflicts and how to resolve them by LucaButBoring · Pull Request #701 · modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol

Description: Adds a note to the Best Practices section of the Tools documentation on tool name conflicts and how to resolve them in MCP client applications and MCP server proxies. Motivation and Context Helps to codify and establish a convention for dealing with tool name conflicts for application builders. Useful guidance to follow as a stopgap unless or until #334 moves forward. How Has This Been Tested? This approach is used in Q Dev CLI (source), but it's just a simple pseudo-namespacing convention that is broadly generalizable. Breaking Changes N/A Types of changes Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change) Documentation update Checklist I have read the MCP Documentation My code follows the repository's style guidelines New and existing tests pass locally I have added appropriate error handling I have added or updated documentation as needed Additional context
