FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my agent list open changes across all Gerrit projects?

Yes. Use the 'query_changes' tool with the query 'status:open'. The agent will retrieve the global array of all matching changes, including subjects, numbers, and owners natively.

How do I see the approval labels (Code-Review, Verified) for a specific change via chat?

Use the 'get_change' tool. It retrieves the full details of a Gerrit change, including the 'labels' section where you can see the Code-Review and Verified scores assigned by reviewers natively.

Can I check which groups have access to a specific project through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_groups' tool to identify existing groups. While project access rules are often defined in the project settings, the agent can help you verify group definitions and ownership within your organizational tree flawlessly.

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.
