The Challenge => The Federated MCP Connector was configured correctly but failed to return responses in Microsoft 365 applications, including Copilot Chat.

The Federated Connector description metadata was not being surfaced correctly in Microsoft 365 data, preventing the Federated Connector from being reliably discovered and invoked.

It is not documented and looks like having Platform limitations or issue currently. Please check and update the doc accordingly if required.
