Team-wide storage control in VS Code Copilot
Commit your MCP configuration to your repo so every dev has the same tools. The agent can use `list_folder` to help new teammates get oriented. Consistency is key. By using `get_current_user`, the agent verifies it's interacting with the correct environment before executing any changes.
Automated file organization
Use your agent to keep project folders clean. Run `move_item` or `copy_item` to shift assets around based on your team's current needs. Everything is logged through the standard MCP interface. It’s a clean way to manage storage without leaving the IDE.
Security and visibility
Auditing is part of the job. Run `list_shared_links` to see if any sensitive files are public and use `delete_item` to clean them up. Check `get_metadata` to see who last touched a file. It’s all about maintaining control over your team's storage.
