State Management:
Context objects maintain a state dictionary that can be used to store and share
data across middleware and tool calls within a request. When a new context
is created (nested contexts), it inherits a copy of its parent's state, ensuring
that modifications in child contexts don't affect parent contexts.
Context provides session-scoped state that persists across requests within
the same MCP session. State is automatically keyed by session, ensuring
isolation between different clients.
State set during `on_initialize` middleware will persist to subsequent tool
calls when using the same session object (STDIO, SSE, single-server HTTP).
For distributed/serverless HTTP deployments where different machines handle
the init and tool calls, state is isolated by the mcp-session-id header.
The context parameter name can be anything as long as it's annotated with Context.
The context is optional - tools that don't need it can omit the parameter.
