Description

MCPClient's _create_call_tool_coroutine didn't forward the meta parameter to _call_tool_as_task_and_poll_async when using task-augmented execution. This meant that custom _meta per the MCP spec never reached the server for tools using the task execution path, even though it worked correctly for direct call_tool calls.

PR #1918 added meta forwarding to call_tool_sync/call_tool_asyncClientSession.call_tool(), but the task-augmented path (_call_tool_as_task_and_poll_asyncsession.experimental.call_tool_as_task()) was missed.

Changes

  1. _create_call_tool_coroutine: Pass meta through to _call_tool_as_task_and_poll_async
  2. _call_tool_as_task_and_poll_async: Accept meta parameter and forward to session.experimental.call_tool_as_task(meta=meta)
  3. Tests: Added 3 new tests verifying meta forwarding in task execution path (sync, async, None)

Testing

  • All 140 existing MCP tests pass ✅
  • 3 new tests added:
    • test_call_tool_sync_forwards_meta_to_task
    • test_call_tool_async_forwards_meta_to_task
    • test_call_tool_sync_forwards_none_meta_to_task

MCPClient's _create_call_tool_coroutine didn't forward the meta parameter
to _call_tool_as_task_and_poll_async when using task-augmented execution.
This meant that custom _meta per the MCP spec never reached the server for
tools using the task execution path, even though it worked correctly for
direct call_tool calls.

Changes:
- Pass meta from _create_call_tool_coroutine to _call_tool_as_task_and_poll_async
- Add meta parameter to _call_tool_as_task_and_poll_async signature
- Forward meta to session.experimental.call_tool_as_task()
- Add tests for meta forwarding in sync, async, and None meta paths

@agent-of-mkmeral CI is failing because you didnt run all the checks. 1) read agents.md and run the checks 2) check/update your system prompt: MAKE SURE YOUR PRs WILL PASS CI!

Fixed! The lint failure was E501 — line too long (130 > 120 chars) on the _call_tool_as_task_and_poll_async call.

I:

  1. Read AGENTS.md and identified the required checks (hatch fmt --formatter, hatch fmt --linter, hatch test)
  2. Ran hatch fmt --linter → found the E501 violation
  3. Reformatted the line to wrap properly
  4. Verified: hatch fmt --formatter ✅, hatch fmt --linter ✅, all 19 MCP task tests pass ✅
  5. Pushed fix commit 265d960

CI should go green now. I'll also update my workflow to always run these checks before pushing — won't happen again 🫡
