Frequently asked questions
Can I download a specific document version in PDF format?
Yes! Use the download_document_version tool by providing the document code and specifying 'pdf' as the format. Your agent will retrieve the download link or data immediately.
How do I see all available template suites in my workspace?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_template_suites action. It will return a complete list of all template suites configured in your Legito environment.
Is it possible to check what permissions a specific user has?
Yes. By using the get_user_permissions tool with a user's identifier, the agent can retrieve the exact permission set assigned to that user in the workspace.
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.
