The `enhance` and `extract` tools always throw a server-side error when called, making them unusable via MCP.

Inizia individuando i punti di ingresso Python MCP per gli strumenti enhance ed extract e verifica come i relativi campi dello schema opzionali vengono passati al server. Riproduci le chiamate usando i payload di questa issue, quindi verifica che i valori opzionali null, vuoti e omessi non attivino più l’errore di tipo segnalato, mentre search_web rimanga invariato.

Bug

The enhance and extract tools always throw a server-side error when called, making them unusable via MCP.

Error

Error calling tool 'enhance': Invalid variable type: value should be str, int or float, got None of type <class 'NoneType'>
Error calling tool 'extract': Invalid variable type: value should be str, int or float, got None of type <class 'NoneType'>

Root cause

The tool schemas declare several parameters as anyOf: [string, null] (e.g. location, employer, title, school, page_type), meaning null is a valid value per the schema. However the Python server rejects None at runtime with the
above error.

This happens whether the optional fields are passed explicitly as null, passed as empty strings, or omitted entirely — the MCP framework appears to populate unset optional fields as None, which the server then rejects.

Reproduction

Call enhance with any valid Person lookup:

Both fail. search_web works correctly.

Optional parameters that are null or omitted should be handled gracefully by the server (ignored or treated as unset).
