### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

I observed unexpected behavior with tool restrictions when using custom agents.

### Proposed solution

Expected behavior:
When using @readonly-agent (defined in AGENTS.md with only view/read tools allowed),
I expected all modification operations (str_replace, create, delete) to be blocked.

Actual behavior:
The agent was able to execute str_replace, create, and powershell commands
despite AGENTS.md specifying only view/read tools.

Questions:
1. What is the priority order between .github/copilot-instructions.md and AGENTS.md
for tool permissions?
2. Can AGENTS.md restrict/deny tools that are allowed in copilot-instructions.md?
3. What is the intended behavior for tool restriction inheritance?

Environment:
- GitHub Copilot CLI version: 0.0.349
- Custom agent defined in AGENTS.md
- Tool restrictions specified in agent definition
