Frequently asked questions
Can I check if my automations failed recently through the agent?
Yes. The list_recipe_jobs tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the execution history for any recipe ID, showing you which jobs succeeded and which encountered errors so you can monitor health through chat.
How do I know if an app connection is still active?
You can use the list_app_connections tool. It will return all configured connections in your Workato account along with their current status, helping you identify disconnected apps immediately.
Can I see which workflows are available as REST APIs?
Absolutely. Use the get_api_collections tool to retrieve a list of all API collections exposed by your Workato tenant, showing you which recipes are ready for external invocation.
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.
