Audit Team Directories in VS Code Copilot

The `list_people` tool retrieves your entire active workforce directly inside the VS Code Copilot panel. You can query employee records and build custom team rosters without leaving your development environment. By calling `get_person`, your coding agent pulls complete profiles for specific staff members. This lets you verify active directories or map out internal reporting structures during code reviews.

Sync Legal Entities and Positions via MCP Server

The `list_business_entities` tool pulls all registered corporate entities directly into your VS Code Copilot workspace. You can use this to map corporate hierarchies and verify tax structures. Combine this with `list_positions` to align job titles across different subsidiaries. Using this MCP Server ensures your team writes integration scripts that match your actual corporate layout.

Track Employee Training and Development

The `list_training` tool fetches course records and certification statuses directly inside VS Code Copilot. You can quickly audit compliance metrics or generate training progress reports. Use `list_skills` alongside it to match completed courses with defined organizational capabilities. It gives your team immediate visibility into skill gaps without needing access to the main HR dashboard.
