 [!code-csharp[](samples/client/Program.cs?name=snippet_McpInitialize)]
 
 The ElicitationHandler is an asynchronous method that will be called when the server requests additional information.
 The ElicitationHandler must request input from the user and return the data in a format that matches the requested schema.
 This will be highly dependent on the client application and how it interacts with the user.
 
-If the user provides the requested information, the ElicitationHandler should return an [ElicitResult] with the action set to "accept" and the content containing the user's input.
-If the user does not provide the requested information, the ElicitationHandler should return an [ElicitResult] with the action set to "reject" and no content.

 ### Client support for logging
 
 When the server indicates that it supports logging, clients should configure
 the logging level to specify which messages the server should send to the client.
 
-Clients should check if the server supports logging by checking the [Logging] property of the [ServerCapabilities] field of [IMcpClient].

 [!code-csharp[](samples/client/Program.cs?name=snippet_LoggingCapabilities)]
 
 If the server supports logging, the client should set the level of log messages it wishes to receive with
-the [SetLoggingLevel] method on [IMcpClient]. If the client does not set a logging level, the server might choose
+the <xref:ModelContextProtocol.Client.McpClient.SetLoggingLevel*> method on <xref:ModelContextProtocol.Client.McpClient>. If the client does not set a logging level, the server might choose
 to send all log messages or none -- this is not specified in the protocol -- so it is important that the client
 sets a logging level to ensure it receives the desired log messages and only those messages.
 
 The `loggingLevel` set by the client is an MCP logging level.
 See the [Logging Levels](#logging-levels) section above for the mapping between MCP and .NET logging levels.
