Description
From https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/dev/package_index_json-specification/#platforms-definitions
monitorDependencies: the Pluggable Monitors needed by this platform. Each monitor is referenced by the pair
(packager,name), theversionis not specified because the latest installed monitor tool will always be used.
LiketoolsDependenciesthey will be installed by Boards Manager along with the platform and can reference tools
available in other packages as well, even if no platform of that package is installed.
However, I find that the tool is not installed.
Steps to reproduce
Create a package index that contains a platform with a tool reference in its monitorDependencies field. For example:

}Install the platform and then check to see whether the tool was installed.
