## Title

    [Haystack Agent] run(tools=...) now raises "does not accept tools parameter in its run method" for generators without tool support

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Tool support is now validated against the tools resolved for each run, not only init-time tools.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

    Search phrasings: haystack agent does not accept tools parameter; haystack Agent run tools TypeError generator
