includedTools setting not respected when agents chain is active

[sbruel]

What happened?

We use the following settings in librechat.yml

endpoints:
  agents:
    disableBuilder: false
    capabilities:
      - 'file_search'
      - 'actions'
      - 'tools'
      - 'artifacts'
...
includedTools:
  - google
  - dalle
  - calculator

mcpServers:
  some-server:
    ...

and everything works as expected.
When adding chain to the list of capabilities, as in:

endpoints:
  agents:
    disableBuilder: false
    capabilities:
      - 'file_search'
      - 'actions'
      - 'tools'
      - 'artifacts'
      - 'chain'
...
includedTools:
  - google
  - dalle
  - calculator

mcpServers:
  some-server:
    ...

The includedTools list is not respected and the tools from the MCP server don't appear anymore when creating an agent.
All the default tools appear again:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add includedTools configuration to librechat.yml
2. Disable chain in endpoints.agents.capabilities
3. Try creating an agent
4. Confirm only the included tools are visible
5. Add chain to endpoints.agents.capabilities
6. Try creating an agent
7. All the tools are now visible (but not MCP servers provided ones if configured)

Relevant log output

You need to provide logs, there are some loaded at startup that would be helpful here.

Here's my relevant log output:
