[microsoft/vscode] askQuestions tool not available in subagents

Sponsored Content
### ROOT CAUSE The askQuestions tool is not being inherited by subagents, causing it to be unavailable when they attempt to use it. ### CODE FIX To make the `vscode/askQuestions` tool available to subagents, update the agent configuration to include this tool in the subagent's tool list. Modify the agent's tool definition to explicitly include `vscode/askQuestions` for subagents. Here's how to adjust the Planner agent configuration: ```markdown --- name: Planner description: Creates comprehensive implementation plans by researching the codebase, consulting documentation, and identifying edge cases. Use when you need a detailed plan before implementing a feature or fixing a complex issue. model: ['GPT-5.4 (copilot)', 'GPT-5.2 (copilot)', 'GPT-5.1 (copilot)'] user-invokable: false tools: - name: 'vscode' - name: 'execute' - name: 'read' - name: 'agent' - name: 'io.github.upstash/context7/*' - name: 'edit' - name: 'search' - name: 'web' - name: 'vscode/memory' - name: 'todo' - name: 'vscode/askQuestions' --- # Planning Agent You create plans. You do NOT write code. ## Workflow 1. **Research**: Search the codebase thoroughly. Read the relevant files. Find existing patterns. 2. **Verify**: Use #context7 and #fetch to check documentation for any libraries/APIs involved. Don't assume—verify. 3. **Alignment (Clarify)**: If there are major ambiguities, conflicting requirements, or you need to validate assumptions, STOP and ask the user targeted questions using #tool:vscode/ask ``` By explicitly including `vscode/askQuestions` in the tools list, subagents will have access to this tool when they need to ask questions.
