+### Tool Responses with Image, Audio, and Embedded Resources
+
+Tool responses are not limited to text. The `MCP::Content` module provides `Image`, `Audio`, and `EmbeddedResource` content types,
+which serialize to the `image`, `audio`, and `resource` content blocks defined by the MCP spec. Image and audio data is passed as
+a base64-encoded string together with its MIME type:
+
+```ruby
+class ChartTool < MCP::Tool
+  description "Render a chart as a PNG image"
+
+  def self.call(server_context:)
+    MCP::Tool::Response.new([
+      MCP::Content::Text.new("Here is the rendered chart:").to_h,
+      MCP::Content::Image.new(Base64.strict_encode64(render_chart_png), "image/png").to_h,
+    ])
+  end
+end
+
+class SpeechTool < MCP::Tool
+  description "Synthesize speech audio"
+
+  def self.call(server_context:)
+    MCP::Tool::Response.new([
+      MCP::Content::Audio.new(Base64.strict_encode64(synthesize_wav), "audio/wav").to_h,
+    ])
+  end
+end
+```
+
+An embedded resource wraps `MCP::Resource::TextContents` or `MCP::Resource::BlobContents`, allowing a tool to return resource contents inline:
+
+```ruby
+class ReportTool < MCP::Tool
+  description "Return a report as an embedded resource"
+
+  def self.call(server_context:)
+    contents = MCP::Resource::TextContents.new(
+      uri: "report://monthly",
+      mime_type: "application/json",
+      text: { total: 42 }.to_json,

+

+Prompt messages are not limited to text. The same `MCP::Content` types used in tool responses can be used as message content,

+The `requested_schema` must be a flat object schema: a top-level `type: "object"` whose `properties` are limited to
+primitive types (`string`, `number`, `integer`, `boolean`). Nested objects and arrays are not allowed, which keeps
+the schema simple enough for clients to render as a form. Per the MCP specification, the client validates
+the user's input against this schema before returning it, so the `content` of an `accept` response matches the requested shape.
+
+#### Default Values and Enums
+
+Properties may declare a `default` value (SEP-1034), which clients use to pre-fill the form.
+String properties may declare `enum` values, optionally with human-readable `enumNames` (SEP-1330), which clients render as a choice list:
