What's Wrong?

Symptom: Calling the advisor tool aborts the assistant turn with API error Unsupported content type: server_tool_use. Context: Claude Code (Opus 4.8, claude-opus-4-8), VS Code extension. Repeatable — failed on every attempt this session. Likely cause: The transcript forwarded to the advisor backend contains a server_tool_use content block (from a server-side tool) that the advisor request serializer rejects as an unsupported content type. Probably needs the advisor's transcript-forwarding path to filter or translate server_tool_use/web_search-style blocks before re-submitting. Impact: advisor is unusable whenever the conversation contains a server-tool block.

What Should Happen?

Claude code call advisor and wait for the advisor response to proceed.
