An MCP server exposes a tool to calculate shipping costs and a resource that contains the current exchange rates. An agent needs to calculate a shipping cost using the latest exchange rate. How should the agent combine these primitives?

First request the exchange rate resource, then invoke the shipping cost tool with that data

Invoke the shipping cost tool, which automatically fetches the exchange rate

Request the exchange rate resource, which also calculates the shipping cost

Use a prompt that includes both the tool and the resource

An MCP server exposes a resource that contains the current weather data for a city. An agent needs to include this data in its response to a user query. How should the agent access the resource?

By loading a prompt that contains the weather data

By invoking a tool that fetches the weather data

By requesting the resource from the MCP server using its URI

By directly querying the weather API

A developer is building an MCP server that provides a tool to create support tickets. The tool requires a title and description. How should the developer define the tool so the agent knows how to invoke it?

Define the tool as a resource with a URI that accepts parameters

Define the tool with a name, description, and input schema that specifies the required arguments

Define the tool as a prompt that the agent fills in

Define the tool by writing a natural language description only
