SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines the creation and governance of Copilot SDK tools, MCP server connections, and skill access controls, reducing integration friction and misconfigurations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define tools with defineTool (TypeScript) or @define_tool (Python) for consistent parameters and handlers.
  • Configure MCP servers (local/stdio and remote HTTP) to enable predictable tool transport and isolation.
  • Load and manage skills from directories, with per-skill manifests and controlled tool access via availableTools/excludedTools.
  • Debug tool execution, validate parameter schemas (JSON Schema, Zod, Pydantic), and monitor tool results.
  • Manage skill and tool governance across multiple environments (local, cloud, or MCP-enabled) with structured events and auditing.

Quick Start

Read the official Copilot SDK docs and create a first tool definition with a minimal session that loads a skill directory and exposes one tool.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define custom tools for Copilot SDK using TypeScript or Python?▼

You can define custom Copilot SDK tools using the defineTool function in TypeScript or @define_tool decorator in Python to establish consistent parameters and handlers for deterministic tool calls.

Can I configure both local and remote HTTP MCP servers with Copilot SDK?▼

Yes, Copilot SDK supports configuring MCP servers for both local stdio and remote HTTP connections, enabling predictable tool transport and isolation across multiple environments.

How do I validate parameter schemas for MCP tools?▼

You can validate parameter schemas for MCP tools using JSON Schema, Zod, or Pydantic to ensure correct parameter typing and debug tool execution results effectively.

What is the best way to manage skill loading and access control in Copilot SDK?▼

Manage skill loading by specifying directories with per-skill manifests, and control tool access using availableTools and excludedTools parameters to govern tool execution across environments.

Does Copilot SDK support auditing for tool execution and skill governance?▼

Yes, Copilot SDK manages skill and tool governance across local, cloud, or MCP-enabled environments by providing structured events and auditing for deterministic tool calls and access control.
