Can I check the progress of my image generation through my agent?

Yes. Use the `get_generation_status` tool with the Generation ID provided when you started the request. Your agent will poll the Leonardo API and return the final image URLs and metadata once the process is complete.

How do I find which AI models are available for generation?

Ask your agent to `list_platform_models` or `list_custom_models`. It will return a list of available UUIDs and model names (like Phoenix or Kino XL), which are required when triggering a new image generation request.

Can my agent perform image-to-image transformations?

Absolutely. Use the `upload_init_image` tool to acquire a secure presigned URL for your source image. Once uploaded, you can command your agent to trigger a generation that uses that image as a reference for guided AI transformations.

Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Leonardo.ai (Generative AI & Models) 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.
