What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

The SDK's control-protocol client now has a readMcpResource(serverName, uri) method, which sends a new mcp_read_resource request and returns the server's response.

Why

This lets code using the SDK fetch a specific resource from an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server directly, rather than only being able to invoke tools that server exposes.
