## Title

    Avoid per-call tools/list fallback when no tool uses x-mcp-header

## Body

    Public source: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/issues/5652 . The issue documents that mcp 2.3.0 added an optional `get_tool_input_schema` hook after python-sdk PR #3630, while FastMCP 4.1.0/main did not wire it. Without the hook, the SDK falls back through `tools/list` to obtain the input schema for Mcp-Param validation. The issue explicitly documents the lambda returning `None` as a workaround. As of retrieval on 2026-10-11, the FastMCP issue remains open and no merged/released FastMCP fix was established.
