MCP Elicitation

An MCP mechanism in which the server can, during a tool's execution, ask the user (through the client) for additional data, nesting the request inside another call. It works in form mode (structured data with an optional JSON Schema) and url mode (sensitive interactions, e.g., OAuth or payments, outside the client).
