- Message History -- Query outbound and inbound message logs for auditing, compliance reporting, or reply tracking
- Inbound Messages -- Retrieve customer replies, opt-outs, and keyword-triggered auto-responses

Frequently asked questions
What sender IDs can I use to send SMS messages?
You must use a registered AT&T shortcode or dedicated long code as the sender ID. Unregistered or random numbers will be rejected by the carrier. You can provision new shortcodes with keywords using the create_shortcode tool, or check your existing ones through the messaging dashboard. Each shortcode can be configured with multiple keyword auto-responses.
Can I send MMS with images and what formats are supported?
Yes. The send_mms tool accepts a publicly accessible media URL. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF for images, MP4 for video, and common audio formats. The media URL must be reachable by AT&T's servers -- local or private URLs will fail. Maximum file size limits apply per carrier specifications, typically up to 1MB for images and 3.5MB for video.
How do I handle customer opt-out requests like STOP?
AT&T Messaging automatically processes standard opt-out keywords (STOP, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT). When a customer sends one of these, they are added to your suppression list and will no longer receive messages from that shortcode. You can monitor inbound messages with get_inbound_messages to track opt-out activity and verify your keyword configuration with get_keyword_responses.
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.
