## Title

    Solution for problem-tools-invalid-input-schema: Validate each tools/list entry: inputSchema must be a JSON Schema object with ty

## Body

    ## Cause
    MCP tools spec examples require object-typed inputSchema; hosts may drop non-conforming tools.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Capture raw tools/list payload.
    2. Validate each inputSchema root type is object.
    3. Remove invalid constructs the host rejects; redeploy server.
    4. Confirm tools reappear in the host.
    
    ## Expected result
    Previously omitted tools show up once schemas satisfy protocol/host rules.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Debugging transport auth when tools/list already succeeded.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Exact Claude Code schema dialect extras.
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) MCP tool definitions use inputSchema with JSON Schema type object. —
