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:

Both fail. search_web works correctly.

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

まず、enhance と extract ツールの Python MCP エントリーポイントを特定し、それらのオプションのスキーマフィールドがサーバーにどのように渡されるかを確認します。この issue の payload を使って呼び出しを再現し、null、空、または省略されたオプション値で報告された型エラーが発生しなくなっていることを確認します。その一方で、search_web に影響がないことも確認します。
