• Exit with nonzero code when -p mode fails due to LLM backend errors (auth failures, quota exhaustion, network issues)
• Support for MCP server tool notifications
• Support for COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable for authentication (takes precedence over GH_TOKEN)
• Improved shell command safety with better heredoc handling outside of commands
• Diff hunk lines now properly fill the width of the diff box
• MCP servers in GitHub Actions environments automatically use GITHUB_WORKSPACE as working directory
• /delegate command now works correctly when no local changes exist
• Custom agents with special characters in filenames no longer fail
• Better error messages when using unsupported models with /model command

• Added support for custom agents. Custom agent definitions are pulled from ~/.copilot/agents, .github/agents in your repository, or your organization's .github repository. You can explicitly invoke an agent with the /agent slash command interactively or --agent <agent> noninteractively. Agents are also provided as tools that the model can call during completion of a task
• Added a /delegate command to delegate a task asynchronously to Copilot coding agent. Any unstaged changes will be committed to a new branch, a PR will be opened in your GitHub repository, and Copilot will complete work in the background.

• Improve handling of MCP tools containing slashes
• Improve error message from /model <model> command when using an unsupported model

0.0.351

0.0.351 - 2025-10-24

• Improved our path detection heuristic to avoid various annoying, unnecessary permissions requests:
  • Running many standard bash/PowerShell commands that are known to be readonly
  • Commands like npm test -- --something in PowerShell
  • Shell redirections like > some_file.txt in paths you've already granted write permissions, > /dev/null, and 2>&1 (Fixes #211)
  • Arguments to gh api like gh api /repos/user/repo/ec (Fixes #216)
  • Code comments including /
• Improved prompting for Sonnet 4.5 to reduce the number of intermediate markdown files left in the workspace
• 👀 ...see you at GitHub Universe!

• To conserve context window space, we've limited the list of tools available to the default GitHub MCP server. In our tests, the model will use the GitHub CLI, gh (if installed) in lieu of missing MCP tools. We added an --enable-all-github-mcp-tools if you wish to turn on all available tools.
  Default available tools are:
  • Code & Repo navigation
    • get_file_contents
    • search_code
    • search_repositories
    • list_branches
    • list_commits
    • get_commit
  • Issue Management
    • get_issue
    • list_issues
    • get_issue_comments
    • search_issues
  • PR Management
    • pull_request_read
    • list_pull_requests
    • search_pull_requests
  • Workflow Info
    • list_workflows
    • list_workflow_runs
    • get_workflow_run
    • get_job_logs
    • get_workflow_run_logs
  • Misc search
    • user_search
• Bundled sharp dependency into the CLI package -- we're one step closer to implementing #16, and this fixes some startup blockers on Windows (fixes #309 & #287)
• Fixed a bug where input tokens were not tracked properly (Fixes #337)
• Fixed a bug where MCP tools with arguments would fail with streaming enabled
• Added additional debug logging that will help us investigate #346

• The model can now call multiple tools in parallel. Each tool must be confirmed in advance. This behavior can be disabled with the --disable-parallel-tools-execution flag
• Added /quit as an alias of /exit (fixes #357)
• Fixed a bug where every streamed output chunk was sent back to the model as part of the conversation (fixes #379)
• Ensure that environment variables are expanded before running path permission checks
• Fixed a bug where Ctrl+K deleted to the end of the visual line in the input box rather than the logical line
• Added the temp directory to the paths that the model has access to by default. This can be disabled with the --disallow-temp-dir flag (fixes #306)

• Copilot's output now streams in token-by-token! This can be disabled with --stream off
• Made improvements to the memory footprint of Copilot CLI, especially when dealing with shell commands that produce very large outputs
• Ensured we preserve comments in VSCode config files when using /terminal-setup (fixes #325)
• Bundled node-pty into the CLI package -- we're one step closer to implementing #16
• Fixed an issue where local tool calling broke sessions (fixes #365, #364, #366)
• Added our LICENSE.md to our Node package (fixes #371)
• Added debug logging to authentication status changes to get to the bottom of #346
