Description

## Regression of #1638 — web_search broken again

This is a recurrence of #1638, which was closed ~7 hours ago as resolved. The same `AADSTS7000215` error is back.

### Error

```
MCP server 'github-mcp-server': Azure AI Agent request failed:
error getting auth token: ClientSecretCredential authentication failed.
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/398a6654-997b-47e9-b12b-9515b896b4de/oauth2/v2.0/token

RESPONSE 401: 401 Unauthorized
{
"error": "invalid_client",
"error_description": "AADSTS7000215: Invalid client secret provided.
Ensure the secret being sent in the request is the client secret value,
not the client secret ID, for a secret added to app
'59b26b74-50b7-4ea6-b43a-99ee3f991788'."
}
```

### Environment

- **CLI version:** `0.0.419`
- **OS:** Windows_NT
- **Model:** Claude Opus 4.6
- **Timestamp:** `2026-02-27T02:28:46Z`

### Timeline (3 occurrences in 3 days)

| # | Date | Event |
|---|------|-------|
| 1 | 2026-02-24 ~01:17Z | First reported in #1638 |
| 2 | 2026-02-24 ~20:56Z | @tommaso-moro confirmed fix |
| 3 | 2026-02-25 ~04:42Z | Regressed again (reported by @Meir017, @kevindesuyo) |
| 4 | 2026-02-25 ~13:25Z | @tommaso-moro confirmed second fix: *"secret was rotated but never updated in the vault that we federate from"* |
| 5 | 2026-02-26 ~23:51Z | @ssfdre38 verified working, #1638 closed |
| 6 | **2026-02-27 ~02:28Z** | **Broken again (this issue)** |

### Root Cause (per @tommaso-moro in #1638)

> "The `web_search` tool uses a secret that was rotated but never updated in the vault that we federate from to obtain the secret value."

### Impact

- `web_search` tool completely non-functional — all queries fail
- No user-side workaround exists
- `web_fetch` and all other `github-mcp-server` tools (repos, issues, PRs, code search) work fine — only the Azure AI Agent auth path is broken

### Recommendations to prevent recurrence

The manual secret rotation approach has failed 3 times in 3 days. Please consider:

1. **Azure Key Vault auto-rotation** — automate secret lifecycle so rotations propagate to the vault the MCP server federates from
2. **Managed Identity** — if the MCP server runs on Azure infra, eliminate client secrets entirely with `ManagedIdentityCredential`
3. **Health probe** — add a synthetic `web_search` heartbeat that alerts on auth failures before users hit them
4. **Error masking** — the raw error currently leaks internal tenant ID (`398a6654-...`), app registration ID (`59b26b74-...`), and Azure SDK troubleshooting URLs to all end users; these should be logged server-side only
