Bug Description

When doing actions that mention "Zendesk", I'm often getting AUP violations. Using the zendesk-mcp-server, I get this reliably when trying to list latest tickets.

Some examples

Creating a pull request

⏺ Now let me create a PR for the camera fix:

⏺ Bash(gh pr create --base 3.13 --head zendesk-7878-camera-error-handling --title "zendesk-7878: Improve camera
error handling and instructions" --body "## Summary

Additional Context

For creating the PR, I told it to use "zd" instead of "zendesk", so I'm wondering if there is some explicit block on "Zendesk"
