Frequently asked questions
Can I suspend a running worker to save money?
Absolutely. You can execute suspend_service passing the specific Service ID (e.g. srv-xyz). The target resource will immediately enter the suspended state.
If a deploy fails, can I instruct the agent to re-deploy without using previous cache files?
Yes! The create_deploy tool specifically maps a clearCache parameter. Telling your agent to 'deploy without cache' will map it appropriately, guaranteeing a clean build layer from your repository.
How do I easily extract the full list of Secrets / Environment variables for local parity?
Run list_env_vars for your backend service. It will return all key-value mappings perfectly, allowing you to instantly align your local .env with production secrets.
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.
