To Reproduce

1. Open n8n Assistant.
2. Ask Assistant to perform an operation using create-tasks.
3. Assistant requests confirmation.
4. Approve the confirmation.
5. UI reports: "I could not apply that confirmation. Send a new message to continue."
6. Server logs: "Error: Tool create-tasks not found"

Expected behavior

I expected approve button to approve command as I clicked approve.
