- Around line 224-226: Make Config.exception_logger best-effort at both affected
sites in instrumentation.py: wrap each invocation so logger failures are caught
and debug-logged, while preserving the fallback wrapped(*args, **kwargs) return
at lines 224-226 and the existing result return at lines 380-382.
- Line 220: Update the exception handling around _handle_tool_call and
_handle_mcp_method so exceptions raised by wrapped are propagated without
invoking wrapped again. Restrict the recovery path to instrumentation failures,
preserving a single execution for state-changing RPCs.

Do not retry wrapped after it raises.
Line 220 catches exceptions from _handle_tool_call and _handle_mcp_method, including an exception from the first await wrapped(...) at Line 339. Line 226 then invokes wrapped again. A failed state-changing RPC can run twice, and a successful retry can hide the original error. Limit this recovery handler to instrumentation failures. Propagate exceptions that originate in wrapped.

Problem
When tracing MCP client calls wrapping \BaseSession.send_request, decorating the wrapper with @dont_throw\ caused any tracing/serialization exception to suppress the error and return \None. As a result, the actual tool or RPC invocation return value was swallowed and returned as \None\ to callers, breaking subsequent tool handling. Furthermore, direct lookups on
esult.content[0].text\ and meta traceparent injection could raise exceptions when responses differed from standard text content models.
Fix
esult.content[0].text\ and \ raceparent\ access.
Closes #4463
