Can my AI agent check if a specific message was delivered?

Yes. If an end user reports completely missing an important text, you can ask your agent to pull up the message status using its unique ID. The agent will read back exactly whether Telnyx successfully handed off the payload or if it encountered carrier-level rejection codes.

Is it possible to track the account billing balance?

Absolutely. You can request your current Telnyx account balance to confirm you have enough credit left to continue broadcasting. Just ask 'What is my current Telnyx balance?' and your agent will give you the exact remaining dollar threshold.

Can I configure new Messaging Profiles via AI?

Yes! Developers often need to isolate test traffic from production. You can simply ask your agent to list all current global profiles, and if needed, instruct it to immediately create a new messaging profile to attach webhook URLs.

Telnyx + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Telnyx 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.
