Public AgentOS MCP servers check the tools they actually expose

Agno's PublicSurface(mcp=True) looks at the tools your MCPConfig will register. A server that only serves custom functions never registers continue_run or cancel_run, so it starts as configured, with lifecycle_tools left on.

agent_os = AgentOS(
    ...,
    public=PublicSurface(agents=[assistant], mcp=True),
    mcp=MCPConfig(tools=[search_help_center], default_tools=False, stateless=True),
)

Publishing an agent, team or workflow as an MCP tool adds continue_run and cancel_run automatically, and a public MCP server can't expose those two tools. Set lifecycle_tools=False or exclude_tags={"lifecycle"}, and the PublicSurface error names both settings if you miss it.
