Large Input Schemas for MCP tools

[strawgate]

A custom object as the input to a tool where the custom object has two primitive fields and the tool takes a third primitive parameter results in a 1.1kb input schema (1/3rd of which is whitespace). It would be nice if this could be significantly reduced.

Perhaps defs could be output once for the whole list of tools an MCP server uses?

Perhaps we could reduce the white space used to show the input schema?

class KnowledgeBaseUpdateProto(ExportableModel):
    """Model for requesting an update to a Knowledge Base"""

    name: str = kb_name_field
    description: str = kb_description_field

async def update_by_backend_id(self, backend_id: str, knowledge_base_update: KnowledgeBaseUpdateProto) -> None:
    ...

- knowledge_base_update_by_backend_id: Update the metadata of an existing knowledge base by its backend ID.
