Congrats at shipping the new specification!

Any new to share on file upload support? We have shipped a MCP server and it has been really frustrating to observe MCP clients fumbling around with base64-encodings, polluting their context window with binary data. SEP-1306 (Binary Mode Elicitation) was superseded by SEP-2356 (File input support for tools and elicitation), and that was in turn superseded by SEP-2631 (File Objects and Transfer) which is currently left in a draft state with little activity.

Allowing LLM-based agents to shuffle binary data around efficiently and reliably seems like a pretty big gap in the current specification, if you ask me!
