/**
 * What every MCP tool answers with, and the bounds that keep it small (#246).
 *
 * Database content is data a stranger may have written, so a result that carries any of it puts a
 * fixed notice in the first text block and the compact JSON of structuredContent in the second: a
 * labelling boundary in the spirit of src/lib/agent/untrusted-content.ts, not a sanitiser. A result
 * made only of this server's own words carries no notice.
 *
 * C bounds every result a handler returns, measured as byte_size is: the UTF-8 length of the
 * compact JSON of the whole result, before the SDK adds its envelope. E and T bound the two pieces
 * of database text a result can quote whole, an engine message and a table comment, so that C
 * holds for every result and not only for a successful one.
