Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key and Secret for Gallabox?
Log in to Gallabox, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and click on 'Generate Key' to retrieve your credentials.
What is a 'Channel ID' and where do I find it?
The Channel ID is the unique identifier for your WhatsApp Business number. You can find it in Settings > Connect > WhatsApp Channel, or by using the 'list_whatsapp_channels' tool.
Can I send interactive buttons via this agent?
Currently, the 'send_whatsapp_template' tool supports pre-approved templates which can include interactive buttons configured in your WhatsApp dashboard.
Are templates required for all messages?
No. You can send standard text messages to customers who have messaged you in the last 24 hours using 'send_whatsapp_text'. Templates are required for business-initiated outreach outside this window.
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.
