Frequently asked questions
Can my agent create an internal note instead of replying to the customer in Groove?
Yes. When using the 'create_message' tool, you can specify that the message is an internal note. The agent will then post it privately within the ticket flawlessly, visible only to your team.
How do I update the status of a ticket to 'closed' via chat?
You can use the 'update_ticket_state' tool. Provide the Ticket Number and set the state parameter to 'closed'. Your agent will then organize your inbox by resolving the ticket programmatically flawlessy.
Can I list all support agents to check who is assigned to a ticket through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'list_agents' tool. Your agent will retrieve a full list of support staff, allowing you to audit assignments or identify the primary owner of any customer conversation natively.
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.
