Depending upon the selected output type, returns either the compressed data as a gzipped resource or a resource link, allowing it to be downloaded in a subsequent request: during the current session for a 2025-era client, or for ten minutes at a minted URI on protocol version 2026-07-28.trigger-list-changedSends a notifications/<list>/list_changed for the tool, prompt or resource list. On protocol version 2026-07-28 it is delivered on each subscriptions/listen stream that asked for that list; a 2025-era client receives it unsolicited.trigger-log-messagesSends one log message at each logging level during the call. On protocol version 2026-07-28 only the messages at or above the level the request names in _meta (io.modelcontextprotocol/logLevel) are sent, and none if it names no level; a 2025-era client gets those at or above the level it set with logging/setLevel.
