## Title

    [azure-ai-agents] 'Tools must contain a CodeInterpreterToolDefinition when tool_resources.code_interpreter is provided' (and FileSearch variant)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK validates tool_resources against tool definitions to avoid resources for tools the agent doesn't have.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Tools must contain a FileSearchToolDefinition when tool_resources.file_search is provided
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/1053b0652a66b30d3d51844320b54af22600b50b/sdk/ai/azure-ai-agents/azure/ai/agents/_patch.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Validation in create/update agent raises these ValueErrors.
    
    Search phrasings: Tools must contain a CodeInterpreterToolDefinition when tool_resources.code_interpreter is provided; azure ai agents FileSearchToolDefinition tool_resources
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
