Description
* I have a REST API exposed as MCP server, following the documentation [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/export-rest-mcp-server)
* REST API has `validate-jwt` policy
* MCP server also has `validate-jwt` policy
* Problem: I cannot get the `Authorizazion` header to be forwarded from the MCP server to the API, even though I followed the instructions and added the necessary `set-header` policy as per the documentation [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/secure-mcp-servers#forward-tokens-to-backend)
* I even tried to set hardcoded headers with various names (other than `Authorization`) in the MCP server policy: they are never available in the API
Can you please suggest how to set headers in the MCP server policy so they are available in API policy when using the "Expose REST API as an MCP server" feature?
Thanks in advance!
