Standardize team date math in VS Code Copilot

The `count_business_days` tool calculates the total number of working days between two dates, ensuring everyone on your engineering team uses the exact same logic for project timelines. Committing this configuration to your repository lets every developer access identical date tools. Your agent uses this shared context to build accurate sprint plans and release schedules. It's the easiest way to keep your team aligned without manual spreadsheet calculations.

Deconstruct complex date intervals instantly

The `get_date_breakdown` tool provides a detailed breakdown of the time elapsed between two dates, returning years, months, weeks, and days. It is built to help developers verify billing intervals and subscription logic without writing throwaway scripts. Don't debug date-fns configurations in your terminal. Let your agent run the breakdown to get clean, structured intervals you can use to validate database records.

Validate holiday schedules across regions

The `verify_holiday_status` tool checks if a specific date is recognized as a national holiday in a given region, which is critical for fintech and logistics applications. It prevents payment processing or shipping deadlines from being scheduled on non-business days. Your agent queries this database during your coding sessions to write reliable validation checks. That's how you ensure your application logic respects international calendars automatically.
