Can I see if a load test passed its performance thresholds using my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_run_thresholds` tool with a specific Run ID. Your agent will retrieve the final evaluation for all defined thresholds in the script, indicating which specific SLOs passed or failed.

How do I start a new k6 Cloud test run through a conversation?

Use the `start_test_run` tool by providing the Test ID. Your agent will trigger the execution on k6 Cloud infrastructure and return an active Run ID that you can use to track real-time progress.

Can my agent retrieve the raw performance metrics for a completed run?

Absolutely. The `get_run_metrics` tool allows your agent to aggregate data like `http_req_duration`, error counts, and total iterations, providing a rapid summary of your application's behavior under load.

Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Grafana k6 Cloud (Load Testing) MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
