Frequently asked questions
Can I use the agent to mass download confidential employee payroll details?
The integration specifically blocks massive blind dumps to protect PII. You can fetch specific employees individually, maintaining the security boundary of analytical lookups versus mass-extraction vectors.
How do I filter vacations strictly for one employee?
Just write a natural query. The AI knows to fetch the employee's ID first using get_employee or list_employees, and then invokes list_vacations passing that precise employeeId parameter in sequence.
What format is the Buk Domain parameter expected as?
If your company logs into https://techcorp.buk.cl, your Buk Domain is simply techcorp. The engine appends the .buk.cl suffix and proper API structures internally.
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.
