+Do not proactively run `azsdk --help`, `azsdk package find-work-item --help`, or the `azure-sdk-mcp.ps1` installer as a validation step. If `create_api_review_pr.py` fails with an error saying the `azsdk` CLI is not found or the `package find-work-item` command is unavailable, then run `pwsh ./eng/common/mcp/azure-sdk-mcp.ps1` from the repository root to install or update it, and rerun the same `create_api_review_pr.py` command once. If the script still reports an `azsdk` error after that, stop and report the failure.

 ## Execution
 
 This is a long-running operation. The script may take several minutes because it generates API surfaces for both the baseline and target, creates or reuses review branches, pushes branches, and then opens the draft PR. Do not treat quiet terminal periods during `apistub` generation as failure unless the command exits, prints an error, or waits for input.
