Team-wide Constructor catalog debugging inside VS Code Copilot

The `search_products` tool lets VS Code Copilot pull real CRM records from your headless catalog directly into your workspace. By saving this configuration in your project's `.vscode/mcp.json`, your entire engineering team instantly gets access to these diagnostics. When debugging search issues, your agent uses `search_filtered` to isolate specific product attributes like colors and sizes. This speeds up collaborative troubleshooting because everyone uses the same live data.

Audit account logic and recommendation limits

The `autocomplete` tool extracts structural properties driving active Account logic directly inside your chat. VS Code Copilot uses this data to help you verify that account-specific search configurations are working as intended. If you need to monitor platform limits, `get_recommendations` retrieves explicit cloud logging tracing vault limits. This lets your team keep track of API usage directly from the sidebar.

Validate gateway history and billing rules

The `search_pagination` tool dispatches automated validation checks routing gateway history into VS Code Copilot. This helps your team verify that paginated search requests don't break payment flows. You can also run `search_sorted` to enumerate structured rules exporting active Billing configurations. This ensures your catalog sorting rules match your financial backend requirements.
