Research direction
Reproduce the issue by activating Ask mode and asking Copilot to use the web search extension, using the listed VS Code and extension versions as context. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so first locate the request handling and tool-selection code; done means requests can use more than 128 tools without losing the web search extension.
