brief summary of changes :
Improve FastMCP structured output handling for "dict[str, T]" and mixed-list tool outputs:
Motivation and Context :
FastMCP’s structured-output support had two rough edges:
This PR:
How Has This Been Tested? :
From "python-sdk" root, using "uv" as per "CONTRIBUTING.md":
"uv run pyright" currently reports existing errors in OS-specific utilities ("src/mcp/os/posix/utilities.py", "src/mcp/os/win32/utilities.py", and "tests/issues/test_1027_win_unreachable_cleanup.py"). These appear to be pre-existing and unrelated to the FastMCP structured-output changes in this PR.
I have not yet tested this in a separate real-world application; testing so far has been via the repository’s existing test suite.
Breaking Changes :
This change is intended to be non-breaking:
Existing code using FastMCP tools should continue to work without changes.
