Unable to use MCP tools in SK when tool name has hyphens

[ashhadiqbal]

I’m trying to import MCP tools into the Kernel, but it throws an error stating that the tool name is incorrect:

A function name can contain only ASCII letters, digits, and underscores: 'stripe-search-customers' is not a valid name. (Parameter 'value')

Are there any particular reasons why hyphens are not allowed?

I was able to adjust the function names using tool.WithName function.

List tools = new List();
foreach (var tool in MCPtools)
{
tools.Add(tool.WithName(tool.Name.Replace("-", "_")));
}
