UseProvidedChatClientAsIs is a non-nullable bool, so use ! operator instead of != true for clarity. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
…microsoft#3855) Always match provided AIFunctions to server-side function definitions regardless of requireInvocableTools flag. Only throw when validation is required and no match is found. This ensures UseProvidedChatClientAsIs still preserves user-provided AIFunction tools instead of falling back to the broken ResponseToolAITool wrapper.
