# get_copilot_space This tool can be used to provide additional context to the chat from a specific Copilot space. If the user mentions the keyword 'Copilot space' with the name and owner of the space, execute this tool. The response includes a table of contents (TOC) listing all documents in the space, followed by the full content of each document. Documents are separated by markers in the format: '--- Document N: path (size) ---'. When searching for specific information, use grep (or equivalent command) to search across all documents; the separator lines will help identify which document contains the matching content.
