Currently, the `modelcontextprotocol/ruby-sdk` delegates the handling of JSON-RPC error objects to the `json-rpc-handler`, which prevents flexible configuration of error objects returned by the SDK. For example, The logging utility should return the `JSON-RPC` error object `-32602`, `Invalid params`, when the log level is invalid. https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/server/utilities/logging#error-handling Currently, however, the `modelcontextprotocol/ruby-sdk` side cannot freely configure the `Invalid params` error object. Therefore, we implemented a solution in which you can return the intended `JSON-RPC` error object by including code in the error class and raising it. The modelcontextprotocol/ruby-sdk could define and return `JSON-RPC` error objects directly. However, I believe that delegating this responsibility to the `json-rpc-handler` keeps things simpler. For this use case, setting `ErrorCode::InvalidParams` flexibly would have been sufficient. However, I implemented it this way because I thought that allowing the flexible invocation of other error classes would make it more universally reusable.
