What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

Jenkins controller running Ubuntu 24.04 on a Linux box Jenkins slave(s) running on Windows Server 2022

Reproduction steps

                 stage ("SERVER") {
                     agent {
                        node {
                        docker {
                            image mycustomregistry/organiation:windows'
                            label 'windows'
                         }
                         tools {
                             jfrog = 'jfrog-cli'
                         }
                     }
                     steps {
                           // powershell: ...
                     } 

Expected Results

We would expect that the jf.exe would be installed into the container's tools directory which also is mounted on the host such that it can be cashed each time we need it (or upgraded).

Actual Results

jfrog-cli is installed in the containers tools directory as defined by Jenkins configuration. However, since this is not mounted / shared wit the host, the jfrog download is ephemeral and will go away after the build is done and the container is destroyer
