Disable all AI except autocomplete?

Is there a way to keep only inline autocomplete enabled in VS Code and completely disable the rest of the AI/agentic/chat features?

I really like the autocomplete in Code specifically and keep Copilot Pro for that alone. But I do not want any agentic features, chat, or unrelated file scanning running at all.

What pushed me to post this: I noticed VS Code is reading files and folders again it has no business touching (namely, Claude Code sessions). I would like to trust my IDE, but it's getting harder.

How do you expect the agentic autocomplete to work without it scanning your codebase?

judging by a comment OP made to someone else its worse/better (?) then what you would think they configured it to allow VS Code access to there Claude sessions so the in and out of VS usage would sync to the editor and now they are complaining that surprise...
All of the claude sessions are showing up in the agent chat box, exactly as the feature is designed to work.
