Query active MakePlans schedules inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_appointments` tool gives VS Code Copilot direct access to your active booking calendar. Your engineering team can query scheduling data to debug integration issues without opening a browser. When testing specific booking states, `get_appointment_details` pulls the precise JSON payload into your chat. This quick access helps developers verify metadata structures right beside their source code.

Build customer workflows with VS Code Copilot

Running `create_new_customer` within VS Code Copilot lets your team test user onboarding flows with real API responses. You can verify how your codebase handles newly generated customer records instantly. Your team can then use `create_new_appointment` to simulate booking completions. Copilot handles the transition from customer creation to appointment booking, ensuring your backend logic is fully validated.

Map available services inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_available_services` tool imports your active appointment types directly into the VS Code Copilot environment. Developers can check service configurations while writing custom routing or pricing logic. By combining this with `list_booking_resources`, your team can inspect how staff and rooms map to specific services. This context allows Copilot to suggest highly accurate code snippets tailored to your MakePlans setup.
