Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
execute_command
Execute a command in a VSCode integrated terminal with proper shell integration. This tool provides detailed output and exit status information, and supports:
- Custom working directory
- Shell integration for reliable output capture
- Output compression for large outputs
- Detailed exit status reporting
- Flag for potentially destructive commands (potentiallyDestructive: false to skip confirmation for read-only commands)
code_checker
Retrieve diagnostics from VSCode's language services for the active workspace. Use this tool after making changes to any code in the filesystem to ensure no new errors were introduced, or when requested by the user.
focus_editor
Open the specified file in the VSCode editor and navigate to a specific line and column. Use this tool to bring a file into focus and position the editor's cursor where desired. Note: This tool operates on the editor visual environment so that the user can see the file. It does not return the file contents in the tool call result.
list_debug_sessions
List all active debug sessions in the workspace.
start_debug_session
Start a new debug session with the provided configuration.
restart_debug_session
Restart a debug session by stopping it and then starting it with the provided configuration.
stop_debug_session
Stop all debug sessions that match the provided session name.
text_editor
A text editor tool that provides file manipulation capabilities using VSCode's native APIs:
- view: Read file contents with optional line range
- str_replace: Replace text in file
- create: Create new file
- insert: Insert text at specific line
- undo_edit: Restore from backup
Code Editing Tips:
- VSCode may automatically prune unused imports when saving. To prevent this, make sure the imported type is actually used in your code before adding the import.
list_directory
List directory contents in a tree format, respecting .gitignore patterns. Shows files and directories with proper indentation and icons. Useful for exploring workspace structure while excluding ignored files.
get_terminal_output
Retrieve the output from a specific terminal by its ID. This tool allows you to check the current or historical output of a terminal, which is particularly useful when working with long-running commands or commands started in background mode with the execute_command tool.
Prompts
Interactive templates invoked by user choice
No prompts
Resources
Contextual data attached and managed by the client
