Description

**Description:**
In `Namespace` mode, testing prompts related to [Azure File Shares](https://github.com/microsoft/mcp/blob/main/servers/Azure.Mcp.Server/docs/e2eTestPrompts.md#azure-file-shares), including:
- Check if file share name is available in in subscription
- Is the file share name available in ?
- Verify availability of file share name in

Tool `fileshares_fileshare_check-name-availability` was not triggered successfully in the conversation. Also, these prompts require remediation.

**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Start mcp server in `Namespace` mode or `All` tools mode.
2. Open GitHub Copilot in VS Code and [switch to Agent mode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/chat-agent-mode).
3. Enter the test prompt.

**Environment:**
- OS: Windows.
- Vscode Version: 1.134
- Large Language Model: **GPT-5.6 Sol**
- Azure MCP Server: **3.0.37**

**Expected Behavior:**
The mcp tools could be triggered successfully in namespace mode.
