Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:
tools/call
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "bearing-calculator",
"arguments": {
"lat1": 40.7128,
"lon1": -74.006,
"lat2": 51.5074,
"lon2": -0.1278,
"unit": "degrees",
"format": "decimal"
}
}
}Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
