Recommended action: Sanitize MCP tool schemas in the host before sending to Gemini (strip $schema and other unsupported keywords), or use a Gemini SDK path that accepts JSON Schema (parametersJsonSchema) where supported. Option: Strip $schema and unsupported keywords before calling Gemini [evidence: maintainer_confirmed_cause] Applies when: Hosts converting MCP tools to Gemini function declarations Steps: 1. Deep-copy inputSchema 2. Remove $schema (and other rejected keys per error) 3. Send sanitized schema Expected: Request accepted Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
