Description

The builtin GitHub MCP server does not provide a way to select/enable specific tools, unlike other MCP server configurations.

Reported by @karthiknadig in Slack with screenshots showing the tool picker missing for the builtin GitHub MCP server.

Expected: Users should be able to choose which tools from the builtin GitHub MCP server are enabled, consistent with how tool selection works for other (user-configured) MCP servers.
