Frequently asked questions
Can I enrich a profile using only a LinkedIn URL?
Yes! Use the pdl_enrich_person tool and provide the LinkedIn URL in the profile parameter. The agent will return the full professional profile associated with that URL.
Is it possible to search for companies by industry and size using SQL?
Absolutely. Use the pdl_search_company tool and provide a SQL query like SELECT * FROM company WHERE industry='software' AND employee_count > 500. This gives you direct access to the full dataset.
How many records can I enrich at once in bulk?
You can enrich up to 100 records per request using the pdl_bulk_enrich_person or pdl_bulk_enrich_company tools by passing a JSON array of request objects.
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.
