"""Integration test to verify MCP tool descriptions are included in agent instructions.

This test reproduces the issue described in the GitHub issue about MCP tool descriptions
not being contained in agent instructions.

The problem: When MCP tools are added to an agent, their descriptions should be
included in the agent's instructions so the LLM knows what each tool does. However,
currently the tool descriptions are not being added to the instructions, unlike
sub-agents which do have their descriptions added.

Expected behavior:
- Agent instructions should contain tool names and descriptions
- Format should be similar to sub-agent descriptions

Actual behavior:
- Agent instructions do not contain MCP tool descriptions
- Tools are available but LLM doesn't know what they do without explicit prompts
