Frequently asked questions
Can I diagnose why a specific Automate.io bot failed recently?
Yes. Grab the Bot ID and ask your agent to list its recent execution runs. The agent fetches chronological logs highlighting success status and precise internal failures, saving you endless clicks on the dashboard log pages.
Can I check my quota limit proactively using my AI Agent?
Absolutely. You can request your current usage statistics at any moment. Your agent checks raw configurations against execution quotas so you can anticipate upgrades before critical workflows freeze unexpectedly.
Is it possible to list which explicit apps my organization has connected?
Yes. The list connections tool will surface every external SaaS platform that has an attached OAuth token or active API Key inside your Automate.io environment. Essential tool to trace orphaned security keys across integrations.
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.
