MCPTools now supports a tool_name_prefix to avoid name collisions when sourcing tools from multiple MCP servers. This ensures predictable resolution, safer consolidation, and cleaner governance in larger deployments.

**Details**

- Per-server namespacing to guarantee unique tool identities
- Backward-compatible; no change needed for single-server setups
- Recommended to set tool_name_prefix when using multiple servers

**Who this is for:** Teams orchestrating tools from multiple MCP servers or integrating third-party MCP sources.
