/// <para>
/// <see cref="McpServerTool"/> is an abstract base class that represents an MCP tool for use in the server (as opposed
/// to <see cref="Tool"/>, which provides the protocol representation of a tool, and <see cref="McpClientTool"/>, which
/// provides a client-side representation of a tool). Instances of <see cref="McpServerTool"/> can be added into a
/// <see cref="IServiceCollection"/> to be picked up automatically when <see cref="McpServer"/> is used to create
/// an <see cref="McpServer"/>, or added into a <see cref="McpServerPrimitiveCollection{McpServerTool}"/>.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// Most commonly, <see cref="McpServerTool"/> instances are created using the static <see cref="M:McpServerTool.Create"/> methods.
/// These methods enable creating an <see cref="McpServerTool"/> for a method, specified via a <see cref="Delegate"/> or
/// <see cref="MethodInfo"/>, and are what are used implicitly by WithToolsFromAssembly and WithTools. The <see cref="M:McpServerTool.Create"/> methods
/// create <see cref="McpServerTool"/> instances capable of working with a large variety of .NET method signatures, automatically handling
/// how parameters are marshaled into the method from the JSON received from the MCP client, and how the return value is marshaled back
/// into the <see cref="CallToolResult"/> that's then serialized and sent back to the client.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// By default, parameters are sourced from the <see cref="CallToolRequestParams.Arguments"/> dictionary, which is a collection
/// of key/value pairs, and are represented in the JSON schema for the function, as exposed in the returned <see cref="McpServerTool"/>'s
/// <see cref="ProtocolTool"/>'s <see cref="Tool.InputSchema"/>. Those parameters are deserialized from the
/// <see cref="JsonElement"/> values in that collection. There are a few exceptions to this:
/// <list type="bullet">
/// <item>
/// <description>
/// <see cref="CancellationToken"/> parameters are automatically bound to a <see cref="CancellationToken"/> provided by the
/// <see cref="McpServer"/> and that respects any <see cref="CancelledNotificationParams"/>s sent by the client for this operation's
/// <see cref="RequestId"/>. The parameter is not included in the generated JSON schema.
/// </description>
/// </item>
/// <item>
/// <description>
/// <see cref="IServiceProvider"/> parameters are bound from the <see cref="RequestContext{CallToolRequestParams}"/> for this request,

/// <description>
/// <see cref="McpServer"/> parameters are not included in the JSON schema and are bound directly to the <see cref="McpServer"/>

/// what server is being used to process the request, and to interact with the client issuing the request to that server.
/// </description>
/// </item>
/// <item>
/// <description>
/// <see cref="IProgress{ProgressNotificationValue}"/> parameters accepting <see cref="ProgressNotificationValue"/> values
/// are not included in the JSON schema and are bound to an <see cref="IProgress{ProgressNotificationValue}"/> instance manufactured
/// to forward progress notifications from the tool to the client. If the client included a <see cref="ProgressToken"/> in their request,
/// progress reports issued to this instance will propagate to the client as <see cref="NotificationMethods.ProgressNotification"/> notifications with
/// that token. If the client did not include a <see cref="ProgressToken"/>, the instance will ignore any progress reports issued to it.
/// </description>
/// </item>
/// <item>
/// <description>

/// In general, the data supplied via the <see cref="CallToolRequestParams.Arguments"/>'s dictionary is passed along from the caller and

/// to provide data to the method.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// The tool method is responsible for validating its own input arguments (e.g., checking required fields, value ranges, string lengths, or
/// any other business rules). Data annotations such as <c>RequiredAttribute</c> and
/// <c>MaxLengthAttribute</c> on parameter types influence the generated JSON schema exposed
/// to clients, but they are not enforced at runtime by the SDK. Validation should be performed explicitly within the tool method.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// To signal an error (including validation failures) back to the client, either throw an <see cref="McpException"/>
/// or return a <see cref="CallToolResult"/> with <see cref="CallToolResult.IsError"/> set to <see langword="true"/>.
/// When a tool throws an <see cref="McpException"/>, its <see cref="Exception.Message"/> is included in the error result
/// sent to the client. Throwing any other exception type also results in an error <see cref="CallToolResult"/>, but with
/// a generic error message (to avoid leaking sensitive information). Alternatively, a tool can declare a return type of
/// <see cref="CallToolResult"/> to have full control over both success and error responses.
/// </para>
/// <para>
/// It is important to provide clear <see cref="System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute"/> values on tool methods and their parameters.
/// These descriptions are surfaced to AI models and help them determine when and how to use the tool, what values to pass for each parameter,
/// and what constraints the parameters have. Well-written descriptions reduce incorrect tool invocations and improve the quality of
/// model interactions.
