Public API properties were exposing concrete collection types (
List<T>,T[]) instead ofIList<T>.ProtectedResourceMetadata: 6 properties changed fromList<string>toIList<string>(AuthorizationServers,BearerMethodsSupported,ScopesSupported,ResourceSigningAlgValuesSupported,AuthorizationDetailsTypesSupported,DpopSigningAlgValuesSupported)ToolResultContentBlock:Contentchanged fromList<ContentBlock>toIList<ContentBlock>ListTasksResult:Taskschanged fromMcpTask[]toIList<McpTask>DynamicClientRegistrationResponse: 3 properties changed fromstring[]?toIList<string>?(RedirectUris,GrantTypes,ResponseTypes)AuthorizationServerMetadataandDynamicClientRegistrationRequestalso use concrete collection types but areinternal sealed, so left as-is. All dictionaries and sets in the public API already use interface types.🔒 GitHub Advanced Security automatically protects Copilot coding agent pull requests.
