Bug

The enhance and extract tools always throw a server-side error when called, making them unusable via MCP.

Error

Error calling tool 'enhance': Invalid variable type: value should be str, int or float, got None of type <class 'NoneType'>
Error calling tool 'extract': Invalid variable type: value should be str, int or float, got None of type <class 'NoneType'>

Root cause

The tool schemas declare several parameters as anyOf: [string, null] (e.g. location, employer, title, school, page_type), meaning null is a valid value per the schema. However the Python server rejects None at runtime with the
above error.

This happens whether the optional fields are passed explicitly as null, passed as empty strings, or omitted entirely — the MCP framework appears to populate unset optional fields as None, which the server then rejects.

Reproduction

Call enhance with any valid Person lookup:

Optional parameters that are null or omitted should be handled gracefully by the server (ignored or treated as unset).

Comienza localizando los puntos de entrada de Python MCP para las herramientas enhance y extract e inspecciona cómo se pasan sus campos de esquema opcionales al servidor. Reproduce las llamadas usando los payloads de este issue y, a continuación, verifica que los valores opcionales null, vacíos y omitidos ya no provoquen el error de tipo indicado, mientras que search_web sigue sin verse afectado.
