Frequently asked questions
How can I check a customer's current points balance?
Use the get_customer_balance tool by providing the unique Customer ID. The agent will return the points balance, their monetary value, and any points nearing expiration.
Can I reserve points during a checkout process to prevent double-spending?
Yes! The hold_points action allows you to temporarily lock a specific amount of points for a customer, ensuring they aren't used elsewhere while the transaction is being finalized.
How do I reward points to a customer for a new purchase?
Use the track_order tool. By submitting the order ID and total price, Gameball will automatically calculate and award the appropriate loyalty points based on your configured rules.
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.
