FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for tickets with specific tags through the agent?

Yes. The search_tickets tool supports the full Zendesk advanced search syntax. You can search by tags, status, type, and more (e.g., tags:billing status:pending), making it easy to perform complex filtering via chat.

How do I see the latest comments on a specific support ticket?

You can use the get_ticket_details tool. Provide the unique numeric ticket ID, and your agent will return the full metadata, including the ticket description and the most recent public or internal comments.

Is it possible to see all my available support macros via chat?

Absolutely. Use the list_available_macros tool to retrieve a list of all active support macros (canned responses) configured in your Zendesk account, helping you verify your team's standard reply templates.

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.
