Recommended action: Catch exceptions inside the handler and return CallToolResult(content=[TextContent(...)], is_error=True); raise MCPError only for genuine protocol rejections; or use MCPServer's @mcp.tool(), which still wraps generic exceptions.
Fix: Return isError results explicitly [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Lowlevel Server tool handlers on mcp 2.x
Steps:
1. Wrap tool logic in try/except
2. Return CallToolResult(content=[TextContent(type='text', text=str(e))], is_error=True)
Expected: LLM sees tool error text and can recover
