Hey, thanks for the detailed report. It’s super clear and really helps.

This is already a tracked bug, and there’s an earlier thread with the same symptom: ACP MCP client should reset JSON-RPC tool-call timeout on notifications/progress (or honour resetTimeoutOnProgress). I can confirm what you’re seeing. On the ACP/CLI path, tools/call uses the hardcoded SDK default of 60s, and notifications/progress don’t extend it. In the IDE, the timeout is noticeably longer. There’s no configurable setting for this right now. I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet, but I’ll post an update once I have one.

For now, here are a couple workarounds:

  • Make the long-running tool return a final result within about 60s. For example, return a job id quickly, then poll status in a separate call.
  • If it fits your scenario, run the long tool from the IDE. The tools/call timeout there is much longer, around 60 minutes.

Let me know if neither option works for your case.
