Note

⚠ Engine 'copilot' does not support the web-search tool

We should engage with Copilot CLI on this and give a better more useful warning

  1. Emit a link in the warning to a new doc page
  2. On the doc page document the options for using 3rd-party MCPs (choose a couple, document them, link to their terms of service and auth needs etx)
  3. Engage with Copilot CLI
