Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/test-copilot-missing-tool.md and the failed run linked in the issue, then consult debug.md and the agentic-workflows skill. Determine why the intentionally unavailable tool is reported as a workflow failure, make the test behave as intended, and rerun the workflow to confirm the missing-tool scenario is handled correctly.
