-Selected calls are executed before your assertions run. Point semantic tests
-only at isolated, effect-safe test servers and fixtures, never production.
+The runner sends each prompt unchanged through one provider-native MCP
+conversation. It does not add tool-selection instructions, a JSON call plan,
+advertised-tool text, an answer wrapper, or prepared MCP material. Exact tool
+assertions come from the provider's native MCP events. Follow-up messages use
+the same conversation.
+
+Optional `context` is application context, not test guidance. Use it only when
+the deployed application supplies the same context. Leaving it out is the best
+default for testing whether tool names, descriptions, and schemas stand on
+their own.

+Point semantic tests only at isolated, effect-safe test servers and fixtures,
