Description

I have the problem, I'm trying to configure a dynamic MCP server with dynamic tools. Dynamic tool registration works on the server and is reflected in the client tools UI, but the tool is not discoverable or invokable during the same message cycle or in the middle of a chain. It only becomes available after the current chain finishes execution.
what can be possible fix for this ?

Research direction

Start by reproducing dynamic tool registration during a message cycle and trace when the client refreshes its available tools. Done means a tool registered mid-chain is discoverable and invokable before the current chain finishes, with the existing behavior covered by a test.
