Design a test suite for an MCP server. Server: [DESCRIBE OR PASTE THE DESIGN] Tools exposed: [LIST] Resources exposed: [LIST] Produce tests covering: 1. Protocol conformance — does it behave correctly as a server 2. Each tool: happy path, every error condition, boundary values 3. Each resource: existence, absence, malformed URI, permission denial 4. Schema validation: does it reject inputs that violate the declared schema 5. Authentication: unauthenticated, wrong credentials, expired credentials, insufficient permissions 6. Concurrency: simultaneous calls, ordering assumptions 7. Failure of downstream dependencies 8. Resource exhaustion and rate limiting 9. Malicious input: injection attempts through tool arguments 10. Behaviour under a slow or unavailable backend For each test: what it verifies, the setup required, and the expected result. Then separately: what an agent actually calling this server would experience for each failure case, and whether that experience lets it recover.
