What issue are you seeing?
When using MCP elicitation with clients like OpenAI Codex, the elicitation fails with NoContent error even when the user accepts the request.
The client (Codex) sends content: None in the CreateElicitationResult response when the user accepts:
ElicitationResponse {
action: ElicitationAction::Accept,
content: None, // ← Bug: should contain the requested schema data
}This is a known issue in Codex (PR #6947 comment):
"When the user accepts an elicitation request we still build the response with content: None, so the MCP server never receives the data it asked for via requested_schema."
Expected Behavior:
When a tool requests elicitation with a schema like:
context.peer.elicit::<SubApproval>("Do you approve?").awaitAnd the user accepts, the client should populate content with the schema data:
{ "approved": true }Actual Behavior
Client sends content: None → server gets NoContent error → tool fails.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Create tool with elicitation:
context.peer.elicit::<SubApproval>("Approve?").await- Call tool from Codex
- Accept the elicitation prompt
- Observe: elicitation_failed: NoContent error
What is the expected behavior?
When a tool requests elicitation with a schema like:
context.peer.elicit::<SubApproval>("Do you approve?").awaitAnd the user accepts, the client should populate content with the schema data:
{ "approved": true }Additional information
