Recommended action: Pass request options to callTool/request: { timeout: <ms>, resetTimeoutOnProgress: true, maxTotalTimeout: <cap> } and have the server send progress notifications with the caller's progressToken; for very long jobs return a job id and poll. Option: Opt in to resetTimeoutOnProgress and a longer timeout [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: You control the TS client code Steps: 1. client.callTool(params, undefined, { timeout: 300000, resetTimeoutOnProgress: true, maxTotalTimeout: 1800000 }) 2. Ensure server emits notifications/progress with the request's progressToken Expected: Request survives beyond 60s while progress flows Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
