Clients were wrapping tool parameters in a "data" field (e.g.,
{"arguments":{"data":{"body":"...)) because the gateway was omittinginputSchema` from tools/list responses. Without schema information, clients couldn't understand parameter structure.Root Cause
The gateway intentionally omitted
inputSchemawhen registering tools to avoid JSON Schema version conflicts (draft-07 from backends vs draft-2020-12 required by SDK validation). This left clients unable to parse tool parameter requirements.Changes
Switch to non-validating tool registration:
server.AddTool(method, no validation) instead ofsdk.AddTool(function, validates)inputSchemafrom backends regardless of JSON Schema versionHandle missing schemas:
NormalizeInputSchemanow provides default empty object schema when backend returns nilExample
Before (tools/list response):
{ "tools": [{ "name": "create_output", "description": "Create an output" // inputSchema missing - client guesses wrong }] }After:
{ "tools": [{ "name": "create_output", "description": "Create an output", "inputSchema": { "type": "object", "properties": { "body": {"type": "string"} } } }] }💬 We'd love your input! Share your thoughts on Copilot coding agent in our 2 minute survey.
