Bending Stress Calculator
Calculate the maximum bending (flexural) stress σ_max = M·c/I = M/Z at the outermost fiber of a beam section. Supports solid circle, rectangle, hollow tube, and I-beam; computes I, section modulus Z, and distance c automatically. Stress in MPa.

}List available tools
After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:
tools/list
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/list"
}Call this tool
Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
tools/call
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "bending-stress-calculator",
"arguments": {
