- Add comprehensive tool name validation utility with regex patterns - Validate tool names against SEP-0001 specification requirements - Support valid characters: lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores - Enforce length limits (1-64 characters) and naming conventions - Generate appropriate warnings for non-compliant tool names - Add extensive test coverage with Jest spies for console methods - Integrate validation into McpServer.registerTool() method - Update test suite to cover all validation scenarios - Add documentation and examples for tool name validation This ensures all registered tools comply with the Model Context Protocol specification for tool naming, improving interoperability and consistency.

Hi @kentcdodds thanks for this - took the liberty of rebasing and updating the implementation to match the final version of modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#986 (e.a. |
| callback: ToolCallback<ZodRawShape | undefined> | ||
| ): RegisteredTool { | ||
| // Validate tool name according to SEP specification | ||
| validateAndWarnToolName(name); |

Reduce test file size by 46% (109 lines) using parameterized tests. This improves readability while maintaining the same test coverage.
