Pull request overview

This pull request fixes an issue in the MCP tool invocation flow where the agent entity routing was incorrectly using the agent name embedded in the threadId parameter instead of the agent_name parameter passed to the handler function. The fix ensures that MCP tool invocations always route to the correct agent entity based on the invoked agent, not the agent name potentially stored in the thread ID from a previous conversation.

Changes:

• Modified thread ID parsing logic to extract only the session key from thread_id while always using the agent_name parameter for entity routing
• Added comprehensive test coverage for the scenario where thread_id contains a different agent name than the invoked agent

File	Description
python/packages/azurefunctions/agent_framework_azurefunctions/_app.py	Updated _handle_mcp_tool_invocation to parse thread_id differently - extracting only the key portion while using the agent_name parameter for the entity name
python/packages/azurefunctions/tests/test_app.py	Added test case test_handle_mcp_tool_invocation_ignores_agent_name_in_thread_id to verify the fix works correctly when thread_id contains a different agent name
