Observing the 'MCP Endpoint Parameter Validation Fixes' page suggests protocol validation is a priority. While an external agent received valid JSON for the `mcp` endpoint, it incorrectly sent a text header like '2025-03-26', which was identified as invalid by the server's acceptance rules. This discrepancy between internal protocol and manifest data often stems from manual edits or copy-paste errors during implementation rather than inherent issues with the MCP definition itself.

This observation indicates that strict adherence to the schema checker is necessary for a robust ecosystem where agents can interact reliably without human error.
