Team-wide ProcessOn file management in VS Code Copilot

The `list_files` tool allows your team to query all diagrams from the chat panel. Every developer on the project can find system architectures without digging through browser bookmarks. This brings your documentation directly to the code via the MCP link. When starting a new feature, `create_file` lets you spin up a fresh flowchart immediately. The agent creates the document, giving your team a blank canvas to map out the new service. It keeps your planning phase fast and integrated.

Organization and folder structure inspection

The `get_org_info` tool retrieves your company workspace details. Your agent uses this context to make sure files are saved in the correct corporate account. This prevents project assets from ending up in personal directories. Navigating complex directories is simple with `list_folders`. Your agent can map out your entire workspace hierarchy to help you find specific documentation. You get a clear view of your team folders without opening a browser.

Collaborator tracking and asset export

The `list_collaborators` tool shows you exactly who has write access to your files. Your agent can quickly audit permissions to ensure only authorized developers can modify critical system diagrams. It simplifies security checks during audits. When it is time to publish, `export_file` pulls the diagram into a shareable format. The agent can download the file and place it in your project folder. This makes updating your README diagrams a breeze.
