17/// Bridge an MCP tool to the SDK Tool trait.
18///
19/// This wrapper allows MCP tools to be used as regular SDK tools.
20///
21/// # Security
22///
23/// MCP tool definitions (name, description, schema) come from external MCP servers
24/// which may be untrusted. Descriptions are sanitized to prevent prompt injection
25/// by stripping XML-like instruction tags and enforcing length limits. However,
26/// MCP tools execute on the MCP server side and bypass the SDK's `AgentCapabilities`
27/// system. The `pre_tool_use` hook is the primary security gate for MCP tools.
28///
29/// # Example
30///
31/// ```ignore
32/// use agent_sdk::mcp::{McpClient, McpToolBridge, StdioTransport};
33///
34/// let transport = StdioTransport::spawn("npx", &["-y", "mcp-server"]).await?;
35/// let client = Arc::new(McpClient::new(transport, "server".to_string()).await?);
36///
37/// let tools = client.list_tools().await?;
38/// for tool_def in tools {
39///     let tool = McpToolBridge::new(Arc::clone(&client), tool_def);
40///     registry.register(tool);
