Wouldn't you expect that from a brand spanking new standard though?

They stop being standards if you keep changing them, or if you overload them with stuff that most MCP consumers don't implement.

There's a huge swathe of stuff in MCP that's you'll think is a touch overkill or underbaked. And then if you do implement it you learn that actually nobody bothered making servers that used it.
