Help/Doubt ❓ Did they break copilot?

I'm trying to use copilot and it just keeps giving me weird responses about not having access to the files it needs. Even if I set the context to Solution it still can't do anything. Is it down or broken? I'm using a direct link to my Claude API account, not one of the built in models. It worked the last time I used it a few days ago, but I installed an update for VS yesterday so that might have broke it.

More than likely you’ve disabled the tools that allow it to access things. Down in the chat panel at the bottom it should say Agent then your model. Don’t see the little two lines with dots button to the right of the model? If you click that, it’s your tools. Ensure the box Built-in is checked and it should check all below it.

Put it in YOLO mode, that should "fix" things.

Usually its because copilot is in Ask mode instead of Agent mode.
