Bounded collections and continuation

These response locations publish returned items with explicit bounds and continuation state:

  • $/oneOf/0/properties/data/properties/folders
  • $/oneOf/0/properties/data/properties/projects
  • $/oneOf/0/properties/data/properties/projects/properties/items/items/properties/projectReferences
  • $/oneOf/0/properties/data/properties/projects/properties/items/items/properties/documents

Continuations and required actions

A response may include a structured continuation at the following schema location. Follow its tool call or user-action instruction instead of guessing how to continue:
