What's Wrong?

Missing MCP tools should be surfaced as a hard blocker when a task explicitly depends on them, not discovered through failed fetches
Credits spent on a session that couldn't fulfill the stated requirement due to environment misconfiguration

What Should Happen?

Action should stop when it realizes it doesn't have the tools and user gets reimbursed for the credits wasted if it continues with the action
