Team-wide media control in VS Code

Use `list_media_files` to populate your team's media inventory in Copilot. Everyone stays synced on the available assets. Run `get_file_details` to verify asset properties across your codebase. This ensures consistency when referencing external files.

Enterprise-ready CDN management

Call `purge_cdn_cache` to clear assets during deployment pipelines. Your team maintains performance standards with simple chat commands. Execute `wipe_media_asset` to remove deprecated files from your production environment. These automated tools reduce the chance of manual error.

Structured metadata exploration

Invoke `get_exif_metadata` to audit image information during development. You gain insights into your media quality without leaving the editor. Use `list_custom_fields` to manage your schema across the team. This keeps your media definitions uniform and accessible.
