No UI path to re-authenticate installed OAuth MCP connector with expired token

Problem Statement
Gmail connector (hosted, OAuth-based, built by Google) stopped accepting calls mid-session with "This connector requires authentication." The Directory → Connectors view shows it as still installed — no re-authenticate button visible. Uninstall + reinstall completed without launching an OAuth popup (possibly popup-blocked, or silent because Google session was cached). Result: connector is stuck in a "connected but not authenticated" state with no UI path to recover. Copy/paste fallback works but kills the workflow value of the integration. Needs a visible "Re-authenticate" control on installed OAuth connectors, and/or better handling when OAuth tokens silently expire.
Proposed Solution
a visible "Re-authenticate" control on installed OAuth connectors, and/or better handling when OAuth tokens silently expire.
