Agent Tools not properly applying when Agent is shared

[0pac1ty]

What happened?

When using Agent Tools (Azure AI Search or Calculator in this case) and sharing the Agent with other users, no one besides the creator can utulize the tools. When another user tries to add the tool, the selection shows it as already added.

But if another user removes the tool and adds it again, both the initial creator and the user can access the Agent Tools properly.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Agent and add the Calculator Tool
2. Share the Agent to all users
3. Other users can use the Agent but the Agent doesn't utulize any Tools
4. User removes and re-adds the Calculator Tool
5. Both the user and initial creator can use the Agent Tool properly

Here's what you're probably observing. Here is an Agent that was shared and has "OpenAI Image Tools" and the "Calculator" tool:

In this case, the calculator tool worked, but the "OpenAI Image Tools" was not loaded in. This is because the author provided an API key only for themselves when adding the tool, and the admin has not set an API key for all users.

I've also noted this elsewhere, and we'll make an improvement here:

The user has to create an agent with the same tool, where they can input their API key for the same tools.

Then, using your shared agent with the same tools will work.

I'm aware the UX for this should be improved. The user should be prompted to input their key for the tool to work, either when the Agent invokes the tool or even when starting to use the Agent.

Thank you for your reply! Would it be possible to share a single API Key? Maybe a checkbox when adding the tool would suffice as adding something like a calculator feels unnecessary to be added for each user.

For example i've seen that multiple Azure AI Search Indexes are currently worked on as a PR and i would love a possibility to build 1+ agents with the same API Key (and endpoint) but different index names. Adding the endpoint and the API Key to the .env file and just trying to configure the index name unfortunately doesn't work.
