FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find data for a specific local police department?

You can use the get_agency_summarized tool. You will need the agency's 9-character ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) to retrieve their specific reported statistics.

What kind of demographic information is available for crime victims?

The get_nibrs_victim_demographics tool allows you to filter victim data by age, race, or sex for specific offenses in states that support NIBRS reporting.

Can I compare crime trends over multiple years?

Yes. Tools like get_national_estimates and get_state_summarized accept start_year and end_year parameters to provide data across a historical range.

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.
