Skills are not available in Agent.

LocalAI version:
Latest (4.2.6)
Linux/Arch/Docker

Environment, CPU architecture, OS, and Version:

Describe the bug
Agent reports no skills available, after making skills and exposing them to an agent.

Since this is listed as a working subsystem in the LocalAGI project, my best guess is that the lack of skill exposure is some sort of configuration issue at the LocalAI level?

To Reproduce

• Turn on agent pool
• create an agent
• create a skill (in my case "talk-like-pirate" as a test)
• Enable Skills for that agent
• Optional: select some skills
• Ask agent to "list skills"

Observe that skills_list is always empty [].

Expected behavior
Agent should find and be able to use skills. The UI says that they will be "exposed as MCPs to the agent".

Logs
I won't spam you with logs unless you want...possibly this is simply a known issue.

Additional context
Does this mean I have to add the skills as an MCP manually? It is quite unclear what I would enter into the Agent MCP configuration. Could be that I have located another "documentation enhancement request"?

Thanks much.

Reproduce the issue through the agent pool, agent skill settings, and the skills_list response, using the reported Linux/Arch/Docker setup if available. Trace how enabled skills are exposed as MCPs to an agent and compare that path with the empty skills_list result. Done means an agent can list and use its enabled skills, with coverage for the reported setup.
