Frequently asked questions
Can my text AI agent command a voice agent to call a specific person?
Yes! Use the trigger_call tool by providing the Interview ID (Voice Agent) and the Contact ID. The voice AI will immediately execute the outbound call.
Is it possible to read the transcript of what the Voice AI discussed during a call?
Absolutely. By calling the get_call_history tool with a specific Call ID, your agent can extract the entire conversational transcript and analyze the outcome without leaving the interface.
Do I need to manually register contacts in the Thoughtly dashboard before calling them?
No. The integration provides the create_contact tool, allowing your AI to dynamically add new leads to the CRM and immediately initiate a phone call in one fluid workflow.
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.
