Code of Conduct
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
This would probably best fit into the "Creating and adding a skill" section.
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
I would like configure Copilot using the least-privilege principle, only allowing Copilot to use tools that are required to complete the tasks Copilot is given. I would like to use the allowed-tools field that is part of the Agent Skills Specification in order to do so, but I am missing documentation on how to set that field for copilot. I would like to have additional information on how to set the allowed-tools field, specifically about
- which formats are valid (i.e. normal YAML syntax, comma-separated line, space-separated line...)
- which tools are supported
- how to specify tools provided by an MCP server
- how to limit which commands Copilot is allowed to execute when using the bash or shell tools
