Description

**Description:**
In `consolidated` mode, when testing prompts related to the `get_azure_best_practices` tool, some prompts do not trigger the corresponding tool as expected, as shown below:
- Test Prompt: `How can I use Bicep to create an Azure OpenAI service?`

- Test Prompt: `Show me the Azure Terraform best practices and generate code sample to get a secret from Azure Key Vault`
Image

**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Start mcp server in `consolidated` mode.
2. Open GitHub Copilot in VS Code and [switch to Agent mode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/chat-agent-mode).
3. Click Refresh on the tools list, and select the `Built-in`, `Extension: Github Copilot for Azure`, `github MCP server` and `MCP Server: Azure MCP`.
4. Enter test prompts `How can I use Bicep to create an Azure OpenAI service?`, `Show me the Azure Terraform best practices and generate code sample to get a secret from Azure Key Vault`.

**Environment:**

- OS: Windows.
- Vscode Version: 1.105.1
- GitHub Copilot Chat Version: 0.32.4
- Large Language Model: **Claude Sonnet 4.5**
- Virtual Tool: On
- Azure MCP Server: **1.0.0**

**Expected Behavior:**
These prompts can successfully trigger the expected `get_azure_best_practices` tool.
