# Priorities for the Next Specification Iteration

This is a non-binding summary of where the Tool Annotations Interest Group
believes its attention would be most useful next. The IG has no formal remit to
set the MCP roadmap or determine the disposition of SEPs; these priorities are
intended to focus discussion, implementation, and feedback.

## 1. Mature Existing Extension Work

Complete the transition of existing SEP proposals into fully fledged
experimental extensions. Each extension should have SDK implementations and
clear evidence that the community wants and will use it before it is proposed
for graduation.

## 2. Prepare Pre-flight Requests for Review

Bring the pre-flight request proposal
([SEP-1862](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/pull/1862))
to a state where it is ready for substantive review. This remains a core
protocol proposal rather than an experimental extension.

## 3. Separate Human and Agent Content Presentation

Explore how content intended for human formatting and display can be represented
separately from content intended for agents. The goal is to let clients provide
good human-facing experiences without compromising the structured content
agents need.

## 4. Evaluate Annotation Proposals

Gather the proposed annotation SEPs, evaluate how they relate to one another and
to the extension work, and provide consolidated feedback to their authors and
reviewers.
