As someone with minimal knowledge of LSP specifics, I'm a bit confused about why this exists. Is it the case that LSP alone does not provide adequate functionality for Python type queries?

It seems to be a more structured representation of the type. Normally in LSP you'd have a plain string or markdown that you render in the IDE, but nothing that you can analyse structurally.

It's a shame it's not just an LSP extension though, or a feature in a newer LSP version. LSP is maintained by Microsoft engineers.
