//! The MCP server: `rmcp`'s server handler over the tool surface.
//!
//! `rmcp` stays inside this crate (design ยง4.1): a new SDK major or a new
//! revision of the protocol touches this module and the tool registry, not
//! `bacnet-ops`. The SDK serves each request on a task of its own, so one
//! slow call never holds up another, and a call's engine requests run one
//! after another on its task, never raced against each other.
