What
The IDE language-server tool's input is now a single object with an operation enum rather than nine near-identical alternatives, and it declares an output shape of result and filePath plus optional resultCount and fileCount.
Details
Query guidance moved to the shared field: "The symbol name or partial name to search for (workspaceSymbol only). Most language servers return no results for an empty query, so always provide it when using workspaceSymbol."
Evidence
The symbol name or partial name to search for (workspaceSymbol only). Most language servers return no results for an empty query, so always provide it when using workspaceSymbol.
