Request
The payload of the channel request: the tag byte 6 and the request of the channel.
[6][params JSON …]
- The params. The params of the MCP method
resources/list, as JSON, read as Notation provides, relayed to the proxy verbatim. - Malformed. A channel request whose payload does not decode as stated is answered by a channel response finish that no channel response precedes, and the server does nothing else for it.
The channel request is defined by diverge-provider-sdk/src/endpoints/containers/tools/connect/client/channel_request/frame.rs:
//! What a client's channel request frame carries for a tool container connection.

use std::fmt;

/// A payload leads with one byte saying which, and the rest is that
/// variant's own bytes.
