How do I get started with OneTrust?

Subscribe, then enter your OneTrust API token (from **Admin Console → Integration → API Access**) and your base URL (e.g., app.onetrust.com or app-eu.onetrust.com). Your AI agent connects instantly. No code, no SDK — just connect and start managing privacy compliance.

Can my AI agent handle GDPR data subject access requests?

Yes. Create DSARs directly from conversation — specify the subject's name, email, and request type (access, deletion, rectification, portability, opt-out). OneTrust automatically calculates regulatory deadlines (30 days for GDPR, 45 days for CCPA) and routes the request to the right handler.

How do I check which vendors have overdue security assessments?

Ask your agent "show me vendors with overdue assessments" and it lists every third-party vendor with their risk score, questionnaire status, and last review date. You see exactly which processors need follow-up — all without logging into OneTrust or switching tabs.

Is this suitable for multi-regulation compliance (GDPR + CCPA + HIPAA)?

Absolutely. OneTrust is built for multi-regulation environments. Browse your entire data inventory mapped to processing purposes and legal bases, track DSARs across any regulation, manage privacy impact assessments, and monitor incidents with regulatory notification requirements — perfect for enterprises, healthcare organizations, and global companies operating across jurisdictions.

OneTrust + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating OneTrust 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.
