Also related, TypeScript has a `resetTimeoutOnProgress` option (defaulting to falst), which would probably be useful if we do introduce a default to the Python SDK.\n\n### Example Code\n\n```Python\n\n```\n\n### Python \u0026 MCP Python SDK\n\n```Text\nLatest\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/ochafik","@type":"Person","name":"ochafik"},"datePublished":"2025-09-17T15:33:04.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/1374/python-sdk/issues/1374"}
