Progress is delivered on the original POST SSE response when the client supplies a progress token and the tool has real execution stages. GET SSE carries server notifications such as tool-list changes. Creating an asynchronous task or calling an external provider may consume credits; reconnecting must query the existing task instead of submitting it again.
