I am not sure we should send a cancellation notification for timeouts. Can you point me to the specification where it is mentioned timeouts should issue cancellation notifications? I agree cancellations should be supported, but I'm uncertain whether it should be automatically issued for timing out of requests.

@chemicL
The specification does not indicate that a requirement notification needs to be sent when the timeout occurs, but I think this is a reasonable scenario for canceling the request because the client no longer cares about the response. I think it should be proposed as a specification when handling timeouts.
I created an issue to discuss this matter: modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#418

@CrazyHZM thanks. I suggest we close the PR for now and feel free to reopen it if the issue for the spec update is resolved positively.
