I updated n8n to 1.119.1 and now my MCP tool calls fail. The agent returns: "Error calling tool 'mytool': 1 validation error for call[mytool] toolCallId Unexpected keyword argument". My previous workflows ran fine before the update. In another workflow the agent just keeps running without ever calling the LLM or any tools. I am using an MCP server built with FastMCP. What changed and how do I fix this?

This was a regression in n8n 1.119.1: the update added strict validation of MCP tool-call arguments, so the toolCallId parameter n8n itself injects got rejected by tools whose schemas do not set additionalProperties: false (which is common with FastMCP-built servers). The error you are seeing is n8n's own validation tripping, not your MCP server. The fix is to update past it: the reversed check (only allow extra arguments if explicitly allowed) was released in n8n 2.3.5 and 1.123.14. Users on FastMCP servers confirmed the validation errors cleared after those releases. If you are stuck on an older version for now, a temporary workaround used by several people is to sanitize tool arguments on the server side, dropping keys like toolCallId and sessionId that are not in the function signature, but that is a hack: the real fix is the version with the corrected check.
