feat: add AutoGen MCP agent to EvalHub pipeline (RHAIENG-4224)

- Add the AutoGen MCP agent (add/sub tools) as the 3rd agent in the
  EvalHub on-cluster eval pipeline
- Add behavioral tests for tool usage, reliability, response quality,
  and latency
- Upgrade MLflow to >=3.10.0 for workspace-aware SDK support; simplify
  experiment config so traces and eval metrics live in one experiment
- Remove hand-rolled eval-hub-sdk stubs from test conftest; use the real
  package as a test dependency
- Extend harness runner to extract tool_invocations[] from non-streaming
  responses

+## Testing
+
+### Behavioral tests
+
+Behavioral tests validate tool usage, response quality, latency, and reliability against a live deployed agent.
+
+```bash
+AUTOGEN_MCP_AGENT_URL=https://<agent-route> \
+MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI=https://<mlflow-url>/mlflow \
+MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME=<experiment> \
+MLFLOW_TRACKING_TOKEN=$(oc whoami -t) \
+pytest agents/autogen/mcp_agent/tests/behavioral/ -v
+```
+
+The tests cover only the `add` and `sub` tools. The `invoke_churn` tool is registered on the MCP server but behavioral tests exclude it because the churn prediction backend requires an external AutoGluon model deployment (trained artifact in S3 + KServe InferenceService + AutoGluon ServingRuntime) that is not in this repo or on the test cluster. See `mcp_automl_template/AUTOML_DEPLOYMENT.md` for full setup.
+
+All behavioral tests use `stream=False` because the agent's non-streaming `ChatResponse` includes `tool_invocations[]` and `messages[]` explicitly. The streaming mode emits tool usage via a custom `mcp.tool_usage` SSE event that the shared harness does not parse.
