Obtém informações de uso atual do GitHub Copilot, incluindo cotas e limites, dados originais da API
AI agents call get_copilot_usage to retrieve information from GitHub Copilot Usage MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and reads existing usage data and statistics from GitHub Copilot accounts. It does not create, modify, delete, execute external operations, or move money. The worst-case misuse would be an AI agent reading a user's usage metrics, which is a minimal security risk compared to other categories.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_copilot_usage' and description 'Obtém informações de uso atual do GitHub Copilot, incluindo cotas e limites, dados originais da API' (Retrieves current GitHub Copilot usage information, including quotas and limits, raw API data).
