Frequently asked questions
Can I send an email using an existing template ID?
Yes! Use the send_template tool. Provide the Template ID and an array of recipient objects (with their email addresses) to trigger the delivery instantly.
How do I see which email addresses have been suppressed?
Run the list_suppression query. The agent will retrieve a list of unsubscribed or bounced email addresses managed by your UniOne account.
Is it possible to update an email template via AI?
Absolutely. Use the set_template action. You can provide the ID, name, subject, and the new HTML body to save changes to your template library.
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.
