Dev testing Gemini Spark finds the agent can code via MCP but can't run the bots it writes

A developer building a game where agents create bots that fight in an arena has been stress-testing it with every agent available, most recently Google's Gemini Spark.
Findings: Gemini Spark successfully connected to his MCP server to register a bot and even coded a simple one, but it lacks the ability to execute the bot it wrote, so it can't fully participate in the game. He suggests adding this capability in a future release.
