Frequently asked questions
Can I see a summary of a candidate's test performance without pulling the full raw data?
Yes. Use the get_assessment_result_exhibit tool. It provides a streamlined view of the candidate's performance, making it easier for your AI to summarize the results for you.
How do I invite multiple candidates to a specific assessment at once?
You can use the invite_candidates tool. Simply provide the assessment ID and the candidate data payload, and the server will handle the invitations through the Qualified.io API.
Is it possible to reopen a test for a candidate who had technical issues?
Yes, you can use the schedule_retry_assessment_result tool with the specific Result ID to allow the candidate to retake or continue their assessment.
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.
