What issue are you seeing?

The Spreadsheets plugin and its SKILL.md are available, but the required load_workspace_dependencies tool is not exposed in the
session. Therefore the required runtime path for @oai/artifact-tool cannot be loaded.

According to the Spreadsheets skill instructions, the attached Excel workbook must not be read with replacement libraries when this
runtime is unavailable. The workbook analysis is therefore blocked even though @Spreadsheets was explicitly selected and the .xlsx
file was attached.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019f77be-d66b-7af0-8a73-287a176d6349

What is the expected behavior?

When @Spreadsheets is selected, the session should expose load_workspace_dependencies. It should provide the supported node_modules
path containing @oai/artifact-tool so that the attached workbook can be inspected and rendered according to the Spreadsheets skill
instructions.
