FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my Halo Security API Key?

Log in to your Halo Security account, navigate to Account Settings and then to the API section. You will be able to generate and copy your unique API key from there.

Can I trigger a new scan through this integration?

Yes! Use the trigger_scan tool by providing the unique target ID of the asset you want to assess. Halo Security will initiate the scan immediately.

How are security issues categorized?

Issues are categorized by their severity (e.g., Critical, High, Medium, Low) and type (e.g., Vulnerability, Information, SSL Issue). You can use list_issues to see all findings.

Is it possible to add new domains to monitor?

Yes, the add_target tool allows you to add new domains or IP addresses to your security perimeter directly from the AI agent.

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.
