mcp_arguments_invalid

400 – Arguments are not an object.

Arguments are not an object. Answered with 400.

What it means

A tool call's arguments member has to be a JSON object keyed by parameter name. Absent and null both mean "no arguments"; anything else – an array, a string, a number – is a call nobody could act on.

What to do

Send arguments as an object, e.g. {"arguments": {}}. The parameters a tool takes are in its inputSchema.
