Frequently asked questions
Can I search for assets using specific categories through the agent?
Yes. The search_widen_assets tool supports Widen's internal search syntax. You can use 'cat:' followed by the category name or ID to filter your search results to a specific folder or organizational node.
How do I get the direct public URL for an image to use on my website?
You can use the list_cdn_embed_links tool. Provide the unique asset ID, and your AI agent will return all active CDN embed links and HTML snippets (like iFrame tags) available for that file.
Is it possible to update an asset's description via chat?
Absolutely. Use the update_asset_metadata tool. Provide the asset ID and a JSON object containing the field updates (e.g., { 'description': 'New project photo' }), and your agent will apply the changes instantly.
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.
