    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CICS Model Context Protocol (MCP)   *
    *                      Server has been updated to:             *
    *                      - Provide output schemas                *
    *                      - Add changes to CICS MCP tools         *
    ****************************************************************
    The CICS Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server tools have been
    updated to supply input and output schemas to describe the
    parameter/result structure and content.
    
    Minor changes have been made to existing tools. Tool parameters
    and results have been improved to better allow AI tooling to
    process the results. Some tools now return additional fields to
    correlate results to CICS regions.
    
    Full details on the tools are available through the self
    documenting MCP specification by querying the deployed MCP
    endpoints (MCP method: "tools/call"),
