Flow - Session creation throwing exception if I add create merge request note or create PR as tools
I have created flow and deployed through tags. But the session is not getting created while I tag @ai-green-pipeline-flow-gitlab-ai-hackathon in a MR. It is throwing below exception. Basic tools working, it is throwing exception if I add create merge request note or create PR.

Hi there- For the best technical support, we recommend posting this in the GitLab Discord (Linked Below). The GitLab team is answering questions there directly, and it’s much easier to share screenshots, code snippets, and helpful links to get you moving again!

I have tried. But no response.

Hi Sugumar, I've forwarded your question to the GitLab team in the hackathon-specific channel to ensure it gets to the right people. You should hear back from them today.

I have shared the repo and session logs. But didn’t hear back anything. No luck.

No response in discord yet. Since we have only 4 more days, instead of flow converted to agent mode and tested. Submitted the project with available option.
