Verify active senders and webhooks in VS Code Copilot

The `list_senders` tool retrieves your authorized outbound email addresses directly inside your editor. Your agent uses this list to verify that your backend transactional mailers match your approved marketing domains. To keep your event loops in sync, the server queries `list_webhooks` to list your active API endpoints. This lets your team quickly check if your local development environment needs to tunnel events for testing.

Audit campaign metrics within your coding workspace

The `get_campaign_report` tool pulls down raw performance metrics for any specific mail blast. Your agent reads this data to help you build custom reporting dashboards or internal database sync routines. By calling `list_campaigns`, the server retrieves your complete dispatch history. Your team can reference past send dates and recipient counts to write precise analytics queries without leaving the editor.

Inspect account status and limits during development

The `get_account` tool pulls your subscription details and usage limits into your workspace. This helps your team monitor sending limits and plan API usage patterns before deploying high-volume cron jobs. To verify layout consistency across your app, the MCP Server uses `list_templates` to fetch your reusable email designs. Your agent can quickly audit these templates to ensure branding matches your local frontend components.
