Problem Description

The new menu is great, but when you select a tool and switch to a new chat, the selection is lost.

I don't know if it will be useful for everyone, but for me it's very useful that some tools that come from mcpo are always active, since I use the chat to call tools all the time.

Desired Solution you'd like

Add a checkbox to the menu where tools are added in settings that forces them to always be active.

There's already something similar, but this disables the tool completely.

Alternatives Considered

Save the tool selection in a permanent state, which persists when switching to a new, blank chat, and the state is maintained in the chat. That is, if you select three tools in a chat, the state of the tools you used will be saved when you exit and re-enter that chat.
P.S.: I think this is how it's being implemented, but the tool selection is lost only when you go to a new chat.

Additional Context

No response
