FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI agent trigger an incident alert SMS to the on-call engineer?

Absolutely. You can provide your Twilio phone number, the destination E.164 number, and the alert body text. The agent will hit the Twilio API instantly, dispatch the SMS, and return the Message SID along with delivery status.

How can I stop a rogue voice call stuck in a loop?

Ask your agent to list active or recent voice calls and find the offending Call SID. Then instruct the AI to cancel the active call by its ID. The agent updates its status to 'canceled', dropping the connection right away.

Can it check how much my company has spent so far this month?

Yes. Ask the agent to pull your account's usage records. It interfaces with the Twilio billing records and can display breakdowns of amounts sent, call durations, and costs incurred, giving you full transparency without opening the dashboard.

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.
