Your Question

I have a CallToolHandler, and the arguments are provided as a dictionary of JsonElement, but JsonSchema.Net's Evaluate method requires a JsonNode. This means that the JSON text has to be extracted and reparsed as a JsonNode, like this:

var jsonArgs = new JsonObject();
foreach (var (key, value) in arguments)
{
    jsonArgs[key] = JsonNode.Parse(value.GetRawText());
}

var result = inputSchema.Evaluate(jsonArgs);

Can this be avoided?

Maybe the arguments (or full request) should be provided as text, and the Arguments property could lazily construct the dictionary to maintain BC?

We've decided not to perform JSON Schema validation of input arguments, and to leave validation to the GraphQL server, so I've closed this discussion.
