Problem Description

It'll be great to have better tittle/name for mcp tools integrated from mcpo, as the mcp names are varied got from different sources, and the name/tittle can't be fully displayed in "+", which makes it difficult to choose when there are many tools avaliable.

Desired Solution you'd like

Can Admin edit the tool name in control panel, and display the updated tool name/tittle in "+" ?

And it's difficult to manage between multiple n8n tools or multiple google drives.

I think you can set the tool name by using the config JSON format.
EDIT: Nevermind, I was incorrect on that..
