A developer is using GitLab Duo Chat and has an MCP server configured that provides a 'get_weather' tool. The developer types: 'What is the weather in Paris?' GitLab Duo responds with a generic answer about weather patterns but does not call the tool. What is the most likely reason?

The developer must use the exact tool name 'get_weather' in the prompt.

The model did not recognize that the 'get_weather' tool is relevant to the user's request.

MCP tools cannot be invoked for questions about real-world data like weather.

The 'get_weather' tool is not registered with the MCP client.
