BUG: dynamic chaining of two tools plugins triggered by single prompt

`Save a note of the weather in Paris` single-prompt won't work, but `What is the weather in Paris` prompt followed by `Save a note of this weather` prompt will work.

This assumes you have a weather plugin and a save-a-note plugin actions added to the copilot. The bug with the single-prompt is as follows: `Save a note of the weather in Paris` will feed some text such as `The weather in Paris is: $weather` to the save-a-note input but here `$weather` is NOT replaced with the actual result value of the weather obtained from the weather tool, it is literally just the 8-characters text `$-w-e-a-t-h-e-r` .

By the way, is it possible to add/specify "meta-Custom-instructions" to the dynamic chaining bot itself, this meta bot which is orchestrating/chaining the other tools/skills/sub-bots?

The debugging of the Dynamic chaining shows a log such as:

-----

Get the weather forecast for Paris today using Get-forecast-for-today tool. Save the weather forecast response as a note using Save-a-note tool.
The weather forecast for Paris today is as follows:

Skies will be mostly cloudy during the day with a high temperature of 48°F.
Tonight will be rainy with a low temperature of 47°F. Please note that the Save-a-note tool is not available in the current context.

I'm not sure I see a question in the first part of your post. If you are reporting an incident please create a support ticket, and/or clarify the question you are asking in the first part please.

However, I do see this question:
".... is it possible to add/specify "meta-Custom-instructions" to the dynamic chaining bot itself, this meta bot which is orchestrating/chaining the other tools/skills/sub-bots?"

Yes. The description of the trigger item becomes your prompt to assist the AI in knowing what the purpose of each Topic is so it can distinguish them, and can greatly improve or impact the results. Therefore, always be very clear in all trigger descriptions and results will be enhanced. Note: Don't hesitate to also use negative expressions in the description. This is of course in addition to any custom instructions you might also add to a Generative AI node under that trigger (see Enhance your copilot's responses with prompt modification - Microsoft Copilot Studio | Microsoft Learn).

In the below case this one will trigger if 'toothpaste' is requested, since that's an example of toiletries, but if they ask for a new TV it won't trigger.
