Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically aggregate all engagement statistics across a specific creator's 3 linked socials?
Yes! Utilize the get_creator_identity combined with get_audience_metrics. Your agent will ping Phyllo, mapping their YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram channels simultaneously to produce a single comprehensive metric report instantly.
How do I easily discover what tier of influencers are trending within the beauty sector?
Direct your agent to use the search_creators tool, filtering via the 'Beauty/Cosmetics' tag and sorting by active engagement. The agent returns ranked creator profiles dynamically bypassing manual research.
Are there any destructive capabilities regarding a creator's linked accounts?
No. The API calls are strictly read-only layers fetching authenticated analytical performance or demographic distributions, meaning you cannot post, alter profiles, or delete associations.
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.
