FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my Kolide API Token?

Log in to the Kolide dashboard, navigate to Settings in the bottom left, and select the API tab to generate a token.

Can I see hardware details of a device?

Yes, the get_device_details tool returns hardware specifications along with security data.

Does this support multi-tenant accounts?

The API key is typically scoped to a specific organization. Ensure you are using the token for the desired fleet.

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.
