A tools refresh that returns empty due to expired auth no longer wipes the tool list

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal0
MCP

Your MCP tools no longer vanish when a server's auth expires during a tool refresh.

What

When a tools/list_changed refresh comes back with the needs-auth empty list, the previously discovered tools are kept.

Details
  • The refresh logs the condition and retains the prior tools rather than replacing them with nothing.
  • List-changed telemetry is suppressed for that case, so an auth expiry does not look like a real tool set change.
Evidence

tools refresh returned the needs-auth empty list; keeping previous tools

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
