Proposed fix: [MCP Python SDK client] '1 validation error for CallToolResult content Field required' when a server returns structuredContent without a content array (or newer content block types on ol
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Server side: always include content (e.g. a TextContent with the serialized JSON, or at minimum "content": []) alongside structuredContent. Client side: upgrade the mcp SDK to know current content types.
Option: Always emit a content array alongside structuredContent [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: MCP servers with outputSchema whose clients may use the Python SDK
Steps:
1. Return content: [{type:'text', text: JSON.stringify(structured)}] (or at least an empty array) together with structuredContent
Expected: Python SDK clients validate the result
