Frequently asked questions
How can my AI review recent submissions for a specific contact form?
Simply use the list_submissions tool and provide the form key. Your agent will instantly retrieve all recent entries, including field data and metadata, so you can review inquiries without logging into the SnipForm dashboard.
Can I automatically check for messages that were blocked by the spam filter?
Yes. By running the check_spam_queue action, your agent can review all submissions flagged by the behavioral scoring system. You can inspect these entries safely to ensure no legitimate messages were falsely identified as spam.
Is it possible to track the performance and conversion rate of our forms?
Absolutely. Ask the agent to use the get_form_analytics tool. It will compile your submission volume, conversion rates, and integration delivery status over time, giving you a clear view of your lead generation metrics.
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.
