Team-wide security in VS Code

Commit your security configuration via `.vscode/mcp.json` so every dev on your team has access to the same tools. Use `list_services` to ensure everyone targets the correct environments. This setup keeps your team's security workflow consistent. Everyone uses the same `trigger_scan` commands to validate their work.

Audit APIs with Copilot

Use `get_scan_findings` to pull vulnerability data directly into your editor. The agent parses the evidence so you can fix issues without leaving your IDE. Validate your API schemas with `list_api_specs` to ensure the scanner has full visibility. Correct specs lead to more accurate findings.

Manage scans in the editor

Launch tests with `trigger_scan` and monitor results with `list_scans`. It provides a direct view into your API's health without needing a separate security dashboard. Use `get_scan` to review the severity breakdown. This helps your team prioritize what to fix first during your sprint.
