Copilot tools
What the Copilot can actually look up, and the boundaries on each.
The Copilot answers by calling tools. All reads are unrestricted within your organisation; all writes are guarded.
Monitoring and data
| Tool | Reads |
|---|---|
| Database query | AccelerUp's own data — alerts, incidents, services, deploys |
| Monitoring | Current status and recent metrics |
| History search | Past incidents, alerts and post-mortems |
correlate_window | Everything that happened in a time window |
list_releases / release_changelog | What shipped |
correlate_window
The most useful one. Given a window it returns deploys, config changes, flag flips, Cloudflare traffic shifts, incidents and alerts — from one call.
This is what makes "what changed before this broke" answerable in a sentence.
Code
| Tool | |
|---|---|
| GitHub | Repositories, commits, pull requests, file contents |
| Flag scan | Where a feature flag is referenced |
Issues and documents
| Tool | |
|---|---|
| Jira | Search and read issues |
| Confluence | Search and read pages |
Four read tools across the two, reusing the existing Jira integration credentials.
Files
With COPILOT_WORKSPACE_DIR set, it can read files in one sandboxed directory.
| Scope | That directory only |
| Extensions | COPILOT_WORKSPACE_EXTENSIONS |
| Size | COPILOT_WORKSPACE_MAX_FILE_KB |
| Off | The feature is disabled unless the directory is set |
read_file results are never cached. A file read earlier in a conversation is
read again — otherwise the Copilot would answer from a stale copy after you
changed something, and would sound equally confident doing so.
MCP
A localhost MCP bridge lets the CLI engine reach AccelerUp's own tools, and additional MCP servers can be configured.
Vision and attachments
Images and files can be attached to a message — a screenshot of a graph, a log excerpt, a config file.
Agents
Scoped sub-assistants can be defined with access limited to specific services or repositories, for when a broad assistant is more access than a task needs.
Where this behaviour lives: backend/internal/integration/copilot_tools.go. If the code and this page disagree, the code is right — please fix the page.
Part of Copilot — The assistant that can read your monitoring data and act on it.
