Current behavior
I did just notice this, as I was tired of configuring this per tool call drop down, therefore I was adding the tool names manually in VS2026 Options > GitHub > Copilot where I seen this strange thing:
I would not think, that your Uno MCP docs are stating the wrong name, so this defintly seems to be a issue in my opinion!
manually added tool names are untouched
while removing the "wrong" named tools + restarting VS2026 IDE, resets the setting in copilot pane to "Always ask" 👀
(applyes to all nested tools the same, just took one screenshot)
Expected behavior
Should have been:
uno_app_get_screenshot
uno_app_get_runtime_info
uno_platform_docs_search
- ...
Which tool(s) are affected?
All Uno MCP Tools
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)
I don't know, if this is (still) reproducable or maybe a past VS issue, which might have been solved by now (before adding them now Manually):
- Be in the regular Copilot Chat pane and ask copilot for something it should be using one of the Uno MCP Tools for
- It (should) be prompting you to allow the execution of this tool and you get the drop-down to choose "One time (default) / "In this Solution" (or similar) / "Always"
- I did first times choose first and second option, but in the end click on "Always" (dont know if this changes the outcome for the bug)
Workaround
add them manually - doing this now on my side

Anything else we need to know?
The Report Template doesn't provide the VS 2026 IDE then only 2022! Please update this
Possibly this wrong tool-name adding from the copilot pane is resulting in the uno-app MCP is rarely showing up on my side 🤔 but not sure! Could someone investigate why this is happening? not happening with the normal uno mcp 👍
