- GitHub Copilot browser tools for VS Code now generally available
Users can now leverage AI agents to interact with live web applications directly from VS Code. These tools allow agents to navigate pages, click elements, capture screenshots, and handle dialogs, with DevTools available for debugging.
- Enhanced agent browser capabilities for interaction and debugging
Agents can perform a range of browser actions including navigating, clicking, typing, and scripting flows. Developers can inspect elements, view console output, and debug pages using integrated DevTools within the browser.
- User privacy and agent isolation safeguards are enabled by default
Tabs are private by default, requiring explicit user consent for agents to interact with pages. Agent tabs are isolated from user sessions and from other agents, with sensitive permissions like camera and microphone access denied by default.
- Enterprise controls for managing browser tool usage
Administrators can centrally manage browser tools through a dedicated on/off switch and existing allow/deny lists for site access. Workspace trust and approval prompts remain applicable.
