Frequently asked questions
How do I launch a new scan?
Use the launch_scan tool and provide the target URL or Website ID. Your agent will initiate the vulnerability scan and provide a Scan ID for monitoring.
What is the API rate limit for Acunetix 360?
Acunetix 360 APIs enforce server-side rate-limiting to ensure stability. Pagination limits are commonly applied to list endpoints, returning up to 100 objects per query.
Can I integrate scan results into issue trackers?
Yes! Acunetix 360 results can be pushed to issue trackers like Jira, Azure Boards, and GitLab. The agent can summarize these vulnerability outputs for straightforward ticket creation.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
