Ported the structured-only MCP error fix onto current main. Explicit MCP error content still wins; when error content is empty, structuredContent is JSON-preserved in ToolError; successful structured-only results retain the existing JSON-string fallback. Validation: the full tests/lib/tools suite passes 542 tests with 1 expected xfail, Pyright reports 0 errors/warnings, Ruff is clean, and git diff --check passes. The replacement commit da8b9dc is GitHub Verified. |

Summary
Preserve MCP error details when a
CallToolResultcontainsstructuredContentbut no regularcontentblocks._convert_tool_result()currently handlesisErrorbefore the existingstructuredContentfallback. As a result, an MCP result such ascontent=[],structuredContent={...},isError=TrueraisesToolError([])and discards the only useful error payload. The tool runner then surfaces a genericTool errorinstead of the structured details returned by the MCP server.Fix
