Team-wide string matching in VS Code Copilot

Commit the `levenshtein_distance` tool to your repository's .vscode/mcp.json. Every developer on your team gets the exact same reliable matching engine. This creates a standardized way to handle fuzzy matching across your entire engineering organization. No more fragmented logic between different machines.

Automated data cleanup for VS Code Copilot

Give your agent the power to clean up logs or user records using `levenshtein_distance`. It can now identify and merge entries that share a high degree of similarity. This reduces the noise in your data pipelines. You get clean, predictable output without having to rely on the agent's probabilistic reasoning.

Strict validation for configuration files

Compare environment variables or config keys against expected schemas. Using `levenshtein_distance` ensures that your agent catches typos before they become runtime errors. It provides a concrete way to enforce consistency in your infrastructure code. You can set the tolerance level and let the tool handle the rest.
