Frequently asked questions
Can my AI check why a recent data ingestion failed?
Yes. Ask the agent to list the historical runs for a specific flow ID. It will return the execution logs, row counts, and error details, allowing the AI to pinpoint exactly where and why the sync pipeline broke without navigating a UI dashboard.
Which destinations and sources can the agent inventory?
Your agent maps your entire active landscape. It can retrieve both the explicit warehouse targets (e.g. your authorized BigQuery and Snowflake environments) and the vast catalog of pre-built SaaS API connectors available in your Portable environment.
How can I check my workspace extraction limits?
Simply ask the AI to retrieve your account details. It immediately pulls the absolute billing limits, extraction caps, and active feature toggles applied to your organization, providing a clear footprint of your usage.
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.
