Research direction

Locate the mcp-server-fetch tool schema and search for the max_length constraints that emit exclusiveMaximum and exclusiveMinimum. Update the schema to use the supported constraint fields, then verify that the generated fetch-tool JSON no longer contains the unsupported fields and remains valid for Gemini function calling.

Description

bug server-fetch

The parameters of the fetch tool include exclusiveMaximum and exclusiveMinimum in the schema. However, Google Gemini 2.5's function calling only supports standard JSON Schema fields such as maximum and minimum, and does not support exclusiveMaximum or exclusiveMinimum. This incompatibility leads to errors. Please fix this issue.

Gemini 2.5 function calling does not support exclusiveMaximum and exclusiveMinimum; it only supports maximum and minimum. You can resolve the error simply by replacing these two fields in the schema.
