Description:
When running the MCP server in default mode on PR #626 , the Copilot chat does not trigger the Deploy tool for all prompts in the Deploy — Infrastructure Rules Get section. Responses to some of the prompts are as follows:

2. Run dotnet build.
3. Run az login.
4. Configure mcp.json in default mode.
5. Start mcp server.

8. Enter test prompts Review my Bicep templates and list infrastructure best practices I should adopt..

Environment:

• OS: Windows.
• Vscode Insiders Version: 1.103.0
• GitHub Copilot Chat Version: 0.31.2025081401
• MCP Service Mode: Default(namespace)

Test Prompts:

1. Review my Bicep templates and list infrastructure best practices I should adopt.
2. Inspect Terraform in this repo and recommend Azure-specific improvements.
3. Provide baseline IaC rules for network security, tagging, and naming conventions.
4. What are best practices for storing secrets and connection strings in IaC?
5. Suggest IaC rules to prepare for multi-region failover and disaster recovery.

Expected Behavior:
Copilot chat should invoke the Deploy tool for each prompt.

@qianwens please follow steps at https://aka.ms/azmcp/intake, so that I can assign these issues to you (or please self-assign, thank you! :))

Deploy IaC rule are designed to target specific services like azure container app, it is expected that these test prompts won't trigger the tool.
