MCP schema validator strips known meta-schema $schema keys

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal0
MCP

MCP tools that declare a standard $schema no longer fail validation over that one key.

What

A wrapper around the JSON-schema validator removes the $schema property when it names a recognised meta-schema and validates the remainder, so MCP tools declaring a standard $schema do not trip validation on that key.

Details
  • A trailing # on the meta-schema URI is tolerated.
  • Only recognised meta-schema values are stripped; anything else is left in place.
  • Whether this path is reached on every validation could not be resolved from the build.
Evidence

$schema

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