Documented steps
Confirm the advertised tool list matches your documentation and that unused prototype tools have been removed from the server.
Verify that every tool's returned structured content matches its declared `outputSchema` exactly.
Confirm widgets render without console errors and correctly restore state when reopened.
Exercise the authentication flow end to end: valid tokens are accepted and invalid or wrong-audience tokens are rejected with 401.
Test discovery with a golden prompt set covering direct prompts, indirect prompts, and negative prompts that must NOT trigger the app, and record precision and recall changes.
Re-run the flows through MCP Inspector (`npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@latest`) and the API Playground (Tools -> Add -> MCP Server) to inspect raw JSON request/response pairs for schema drift.
Confirm irreversible write actions require human confirmation and that annotations (`readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint`, `openWorldHint`) accurately describe each tool.

Known gotchas
Output that diverges from the declared `outputSchema` is an explicit checklist failure and a common cause of rejection.
Negative test prompts matter as much as positive ones — an app that triggers when it should not fails on precision even with perfect recall.
Write operations prompt for manual approval on each call unless remembered approvals are enabled, which can mask latency problems during testing.
