Implementation Reference
- src/vllm_mcp/server.py:131-252 (handler)The main handler function for the 'generate_multimodal_response' tool. It is decorated with @self.server.tool(), processes input parameters, constructs a MultimodalRequest, delegates to the appropriate provider for generation, and formats the response.
