Question 290
An MCP search tool returns 80 valid records and then loses its paging cursor while fetching the next page. How should it report status?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A partial result is neither a complete success nor invalid data. The caller can preserve evidence and repair the missing tail.
Incorrect Answers
Discarding known-good data increases unnecessary work and loses evidence.
Synthetic rows cannot replace authoritative search results.
The missing pages make a completeness claim false.
