//! Content blocks for representing various types of information in the Agent Client Protocol.
//!
//! This module defines the core content types used throughout the protocol for communication
//! between agents and clients. Content blocks provide a flexible, extensible way to represent
//! text, images, audio, and other resources in prompts, responses, and tool call results.
//!
//! The content block structure is designed to be compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP),
//! allowing seamless integration between ACP and MCP-based tools.
//!
//! See: [Content](https://agentclientprotocol.com/protocol/content)
