I have an agent with tools, I'm exposing the agent via

});using Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting.A2A.AspNetCore.
When the client connect to that agent using
builder.AddAIAgent("document-management-agent", (sp, key) =>
{
var httpClient = new HttpClient()
{
BaseAddress = new Uri(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("services__dotnetagent__https__0") ?? Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("services__dotnetagent__http__0")!),
Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60)
};
var agentCardResolver = new A2ACardResolver(httpClient.BaseAddress!, httpClient, agentCardPath: "/agenta2a/v1/card");
return agentCardResolver.GetAIAgentAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
});and I try to invoke the agent, I'll get a deserialization error during agent.RunAsync.
The agent on the server is defined as
builder
.AddAIAgent("document-management-agent", (sp, key) =>
{
var instrumentedChatClient = sp.GetRequiredService<IChatClient>();
var documentTools = sp.GetRequiredService<DocumentTools>().GetFunctions();
