The Placeholder Definitions in HTTP Request tool doesn’t exist anymore . I’m on version 1.90.2
What should i do or is this going to be fixed? I need that feature back as soon as possible for the automations I’m making.

I am trying to figure out how to use this tool too. Did you managed to know how it works now?

### Bug Description
In an n8n tutorial, it was mentioned that in the HTTP Reque… st tool module, you can use {placeholder}, which allows users to use placeholders in any part of the HTTP request, and these placeholders will subsequently be filled by the model. However, in version 1.90.1 of the n8n software, why doesn't the HTTP Request tool have this functionality? The issue is manifested as follows: in its dialog box, there is no prompt saying "Tip: You can use a {placeholder} for any part of the request to be filled by the model. Provide more context about them in the placeholders section," and there is also no place to define placeholders.
Supplementary explanation: The n8n version 1.90.1 I am using was obtained from a Docker image downloaded from the internet.
### To Reproduce
1. Add a http request tool which connected to a MCP Server Trigger,
2. double click the http request tool and you will find the problem
### Expected behavior
{placeholder} can be used in the http request tool
### Operating System
Ubuntu 22.04
### n8n Version
1.90.1
### Node.js Version
20.12.2
### Database
SQLite (default)
### Execution mode
main (default)

The explanation is not clear on how to achieve the equivalent of “Placeholder Definitions” in the new version. Can someone please provide a more detailed explanation. Thanks!
