Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my ThoughtSpot Secret Key?
You can find or generate your Secret Key in the ThoughtSpot instances under the Develop menu, inside the Security settings (specifically Trusted Authentication). Note that you need admin tracking rights or developer privileges to enable this type of access.
Can the AI modify my dashboards?
No. The integration exclusively lists and searches metadata elements (Liveboards, Data connections, Answers, Users). It will not modify, overwrite, or delete any configurations or data objects.
What types of metadata can I search for?
Liveboards (dashboards), Answers (individual charts and tables), Logical Tables, data source connections, users, user groups, and organizational tags.
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.
