Summary

Document the tools array returned by the MCP server-card discovery endpoints and the read-only/non-destructive annotations advertised for the built-in search and docs-filesystem tools.

Changes

  • Added a Server card endpoints subsection to the Search MCP page describing /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json and /.well-known/mcp/server-cards.json, including an example payload, a field reference table for tools[], and the read-only annotations advertised for the built-in tools.
  • Mirrored the new content in the Spanish, French, and Chinese localized copies; also added the missing paragraph about the additional discovery endpoints in the Chinese version.

Context

Upstream change: mintlify/mint#8111 — adds tool definitions and read-only annotations to the MCP server-card discovery responses.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only updates to MCP discovery pages with no runtime, auth, or data-handling changes.

Overview
Documents MCP server-card discovery on the Search MCP page: what /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json and server-cards.json return, how the tools array lets clients preload tool metadata without initialize, plus an example payload and field reference for tools[].

Also explains read-only MCP tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) for the built-in search and docs-filesystem tools. Same content is added to Spanish and French locales; Chinese gets that section plus a previously missing paragraph on the extra discovery URLs.
