Team-wide image generation in VS Code Copilot

The `generate_v3` tool integrates directly into your shared development environment. By committing the MCP configuration to your repository, every developer on your team can run image generation to create assets without leaving the code editor. This setup ensures that your team uses the exact same model parameters for asset generation. Your agent handles the complex API calls, letting developers focus on integrating the resulting images into the application.

Edit marketing assets directly in your workspace

The `edit_v3` and `edit` tools modify existing graphics using shared workspace tools. Your agent accesses these MCP tools to make targeted changes to your visual assets based on pull request feedback. For background updates, the agent calls `replace_background` to swap backdrops instantly. This keeps product photography consistent across your staging and production environments.

Resize and scale graphics for responsive layouts

The `reframe` tool prepares assets for multiple screen sizes directly in VS Code. The agent calls this tool to change image dimensions while using AI fill to keep the layout natural. To prepare final assets for production, the agent triggers `upscale` to increase resolution. This guarantees that your logos and banners look sharp on high-density displays.
