Frequently asked questions
Can I block a fraudulent user through the agent?
Yes! Use the apply_user_decision tool with the user's ID and the appropriate decision ID (like block_user). The action will be applied in Sift immediately.
How do I check the risk score for a specific customer?
Use the get_user_fraud_score tool with the customer's unique ID. Your agent will fetch the latest risk score generated by Sift's machine learning models.
Where do I find my Sift API Key and Account ID?
Log in to your Sift Dashboard and navigate to Settings -> API Keys. You will find your REST API Key and Account ID there.
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.
