Since TeamCity 2019.1, callback tool not downloaded and build fail
Previously TeamCity 2019, when you define global configuration in buildAgent.properties with:
env.ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_PLUGINS = /path-of-teamcity-agent/tools/ansible-teamcity-callback-master
env.ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK = teamcity
This callback was called for all ansible builds and worked fine.
TeamCity 2019.1 introduces the Tool download on demand / faster agents upgrade (+ note at end of Installing Agent Tools) => Tool is not here by default and any TeamCity ansible build fails with:
A workaround could be to define a build configuration parameter (or inherited), which enfore the tool download:
tools.Required = %teamcity.tool.ansible-teamcity-callback-master%
This issue is more for feedback and sharing the incoming best solution (and with JetBrains TeamCity support : ticket 2274779).
Awesome, thanks for sharing. We haven't updated to 2019.1 yet, but will keep this info in mind.
The problem could have more visibility with cloud agents (static agent where tools downloaded in the past have not the problem).
Perhaps a sustainable solution could be to add a third property in buildAgent.properties like (to validate, not tested):
env.ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_TEAMCITY_REQUIRED_TOOL = %teamcity.tool.ansible-teamcity-callback-master%
But the default would be to download this tool even if callback not used.
A better approach could be to add this reference in tc-ansible-runner plugin, but more complicated to implement (the name of callback/zip could change ...). Let's stay tuned for JetBrains comments ...
I obviously don't have access to the support ticket. Please keep this issue updated with any news. Thanks.

JetBrains answer: The most convenience way is to reference a sysenv with teamcity.tool.<installed_tool_ID> in buildAgent.properties, like:
ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_PLUGINS=%teamcity.tool.ansible-teamcity-callback-master%
But, it will work (from buildAgent.properties configuration file) only from TeamCity 2019.1.4 : TW-62313.
The workaround to define a configuration parameter on build (tools.Required = %teamcity.tool.ansible-teamcity-callback-master%) is currently the only sustainable solution (for TeamCIty 2019.1.[1|2|3]).
