Hey thank you for this post, very timely for me! I've added a custom, remote MCP server tool to an agent using generative orchestration, and it's giving citations that include what seems like tool call metadata; for example:

citeSuccessfully executed IT-MCP-get_ticket_activity({"include_internal_notes":false,"max_journal_entries":50,"ticket_number":"TCK00517159"})

I validated this isn't coming from the MCP server since I don't see it in VS Code. Any idea how to suppress that type of thing as well?

Hey @John-Vance , those aren't citations -- this is undesired behavior coming from our Orchestrator. A fix is underway.
