Enhance discoverablity of MCP tools

What feature would you like to see?
I would like to see mcp tool names prepended with the name of the mcp server, which I believe Claude Code already does. For example, if I want the agent to open a page with the playwright mcp tool, and I say "open the page with playwright mcp" Claude code works every time, and Codex doesn't work. It tries to install playwright on the command line. I think it is because of how the tools are named:
Codex: browser_navigate
Claude: mcp__playwright__browser_navigate
Naming like Claude Code does would give that little bit of extra context to Codex that would allow it to successfully follow that instruction.
