Can the agent automatically send emails on my behalf?

Yes. The integration natively wraps the `dispatch_email` mutation tool. If adequately prompted, the system will formulate HTML payloads and broadcast them assuming you explicitly provide the verified Sender Identity (from_email) corresponding to your account.

How do I remove an email block suppressing one of my clients?

You don't need to manually interact with the web app anymore. Dictate to the LLM: 'Unblock client@gmail.com from my bounce list'. The agent will instantly leverage `delete_bounce` removing the suspension logic behind the scenes.

Can I query spam complaints regarding my outgoing templates?

Absolutely. Utilize the command prompt sequence to call `list_spam_reports`. It retrieves detailed events pointing precisely to domains triggering those complaints, empowering you to adjust or purge bad contacts dynamically.

Twilio SendGrid + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Twilio SendGrid 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.
