I tried looking for docs around syntax around MCP tool definition. I am having a hard time finding it. https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/blob/main/dotnet/test/McpAndAgentsTests.cs & https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/blob/main/docs/mcp/overview.md Do not seem to define how to use all tools in an a MCP except for 1 in an agent. They dont seem to say how to initialize into an agent.

    Thanks for opening this issue!

    I've labeled this as documentation and sdk/dotnet since you're specifically looking for documentation on how to selectively use MCP tools with agents (the allow/disallow pattern).

    You're right that the current documentation doesn't clearly explain how to:

    • Use all tools from an MCP server except specific ones
    • Initialize these tool filters when creating an agent

    This is a valid documentation gap. The team will review this and work on improving the MCP integration documentation to cover these use cases more clearly.
