What
Two new counters, sdk_mcp_dial_runs and sdk_mcp_servers_dialed, have been added to session telemetry, alongside the existing plugin_full_loads and user_context_builds counters. A tracker method increments these whenever SDK MCP servers (MCP servers connected through the SDK) are dialed.
Why
This gives visibility into how often and how many SDK MCP servers get connected during a session, useful for diagnosing SDK MCP usage and performance.
