Access fleet data in VS Code Copilot

The `list_fleet_trucks` and `list_fleet_trailers` tools pull vehicle types, maximum load capacities, and registration numbers into your IDE workspace. Copilot reads live operational statuses to help you debug dispatch algorithms. The agent sees exact trailer types like refrigerated or tautliner units. Driver metadata comes through the `list_fleet_drivers` tool. Your agent fetches internal identifiers, professional names, and linked vehicle units. That's how your development team gets immediate access to real personnel records without requesting database dumps.

Debug orders via MCP Server

The `list_transports` tool returns transport metadata including pickup references, customer IDs, and scheduling timestamps. Copilot reads the exact status flags from the database. When a specific order fails in production, `search_transports_by_reference` tracks down the record using case-insensitive partial matching. Deep inspection relies on the `get_transport_details` tool. This operation resolves internal IDs to show full site addresses, contact phone numbers, and historical status logs. You can ask Copilot to analyze a specific cargo item's timeline right next to your code.

Read partner and address records

Your agent pulls delivery locations using the `list_saved_addresses` tool. It reads GPS coordinates, technical contact details, and site-specific instructions like gate codes. To write back to the system, `create_new_address` persists site metadata and returns the generated system ID for your test scripts. Business partner details are exposed via the `list_transport_contacts` tool. Copilot fetches legal names, tax identifiers, and primary communication channels. Developers can also verify their API credentials and role settings using the `get_my_user_info` tool.
