+-   **`PromptResult`**: Full control over messages, description, and metadata. See [PromptResult](#promptresult) below.

+#### PromptResult
+
+<VersionBadge version="2.14.1" />
+
+For complete control over prompt responses, return a `PromptResult` object. This lets you include metadata alongside your prompt messages, which is useful for passing runtime information to clients.
+
+```python
+from fastmcp import FastMCP
+from fastmcp.prompts import PromptResult, Message
+
+mcp = FastMCP(name="PromptServer")
+
+@mcp.prompt
+def code_review(code: str) -> PromptResult:
+    """Returns a code review prompt with metadata."""
+    return PromptResult(
+        messages=[
+            Message(f"Please review this code:\n\n```\n{code}\n```"),
+        ],
+        description="Code review prompt",
+        meta={"review_type": "security", "priority": "high"}
+    )
+```
+
+`PromptResult` accepts three fields:
+
+**`messages`** - A list of `PromptMessage` or `Message` objects representing the conversation to send to the LLM.
+
+**`description`** - Optional description of the prompt result. If not provided, defaults to the prompt's docstring.
+
+**`meta`** - Optional metadata dictionary that will be included in the MCP response's `_meta` field. Use this for runtime metadata like categorization, priority, or other client-specific data.
+
+<Note>
+The `meta` field in `PromptResult` is for runtime metadata specific to this render response. This is separate from the `meta` parameter in `@mcp.prompt(meta={...})`, which provides static metadata about the prompt definition itself (returned when listing prompts).
+</Note>
+
+You can still return plain `str`, `PromptMessage`, or lists from your prompt functions—`PromptResult` is opt-in for when you need to include metadata.
