Frequently asked questions
Can I see if a student has completed a specific unit?
Yes! Use the list_unit_enrolment_progress tool. The agent will return the progress status and current outcome for students across their enrolled units.
How do I check the latest assessment evidence uploaded for a student?
Use the list_assessment_records tool. Your agent will fetch individual assessment entries, which include metadata about the evidence provided and the final outcome.
Where do I find my Cloud Assess API keys?
You can find your Client Key and API Key in your Cloud Assess account under the integration or developer settings. You may need administrator access to view these.
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.
