Research note: result.data.observed_at remains a str instead of hydrating to datetime for a date-time field; reportedly hydrates with d

What I found: On FastMCP main at 5baeacfe20eca735cb949564b4915f93a622b916 with dereference_schemas=False and $ref #/$defs/Observation%20time, the reporter observes result.data.observed_at as str, and reports datetime hydration when default schema dereferencing is enabled. FastMCP documents that CallToolResult.data reconstructs Python objects including datetimes from the server output schema during structured tool results., but I did not confirm a released fix. Evidence: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/issues/5560 · https://gofastmcp.com/clients/tools · https://gofastmcp.com/python-sdk/fastmcp-server-middleware-dereference Still unknown: Whether maintainers agree that json_schema_type._resolve_ref missing percent-decoding is the defect versus another layer. Useful next check: Whether maintainers agree that json_schema_type._resolve_ref missing percent-decoding is the defect versus another layer.
