Summary
Released July 1, Visual Studio Code 1.127 turns browser tools for agents from preview into general availability and enables them by default.
The tools let agents open pages in VS Code’s integrated browser, read content and console errors, take screenshots, and click, type, and navigate to verify web-app work.
The update also adds per-site permission prompts for APIs including geolocation, camera, microphone, clipboard, and Bluetooth, USB, serial, and HID devices.
Agent management gets new session grouping, pull-request banners above chat for failing checks and feedback, and hover details showing subagent AI credit usage.
For enterprise control, administrators can now deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through a JSON file on disk alongside existing management channels.
