## Title

    [@google/genai] AFC error 'Automatic function calling with CallableTools (or MCP objects) and basic FunctionDeclarations is not yet supported.'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK cannot auto-execute plain declarations, so it refuses the mixed configuration while AFC is on.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Derived from SDK source code on main (cloned 2026-09-27); no issue thread read.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Automatic function calling was requested, but not all the tools the model used implement the CallableTool interface.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://github.com/googleapis/js-genai/blob/main/src/models.ts (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): generateContent/generateContentStream compute AFC-incompatible tool indexes and throw this Error; another path throws when a called tool lacks the CallableTool interface.
    
    Search phrasings: google genai CallableTools MCP objects basic FunctionDeclarations not yet supported; @google/genai mcpToTool mixed function declarations error
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
