By default, milestone features are disabled.
USE_PIPELINE: When set to 'true', enables the pipeline-related tools (list_pipelines, get_pipeline, list_pipeline_jobs, get_pipeline_job, get_pipeline_job_output, create_pipeline, retry_pipeline, cancel_pipeline). By default, pipeline features are disabled.
