Key Capabilities
Triage support tickets inside VS Code Copilot
The `list_issues` tool displays the active queue of B2B support tickets directly inside your chat panel. Your team can review customer complaints and assign priority levels without leaving the editor. When you identify the root cause of an issue, the `update_issue` tool allows you to modify tags and assignees. This keeps your engineering and support teams perfectly aligned on active bugs.
Access customer details using this MCP Server
The `get_account` tool fetches customer account tiers and contract values directly into your workspace. Knowing which enterprise client is affected helps your team prioritize critical hotfixes. You can also use `list_accounts` to see a full directory of your customers. The agent cross-references these accounts with open tickets to ensure you resolve high-value issues first.
Search knowledge bases from the editor
The `list_articles` tool searches your Pylon documentation for existing solutions and setup guides. Your agent pulls this text to help write code that matches your documented APIs. If you need to organize your files, `list_knowledge_bases` shows how your documentation is structured. This prevents you from writing duplicate guides for issues that are already documented.
