Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is not possible for server handlers (e.g. tools) to react to information about the client that is connected. Information that is useful includes:
- The client's name & version (aka
Implementation) - useful for patching around specific client behaviors, if some are known to behave poorly or need special handling. - The client capabilities. This is required to know which messages can be sent without resulting in unexpected exceptions or erroneous handling. Graceful fallback is often required when certain capabilities are not supported by clients. It's not really possible to do this currently - calling non-supported methods results in non-specific
IllegalStateExceptions, which could have come from anywhere.
While server capabilities could also be helpful, it's something that you control anyways, so it's much less impactful.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add clientImplementation and clientCapabilities to ClientConnection.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There's a workaround, which is to use the session ID to extract the full ServerSession object from the Server instance. But that's ugly and awkward.
