Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
VS Code Version: 1.101.1 (latest)
OS Version: macOS Sequoia 15.5
Steps to Reproduce:
In Copilot Agent Mode, when requesting a direct GitHub MCP server action (e.g., "Create a new GitHub repository").
Observe that the agent first checks the current workspace and files before calling the GitHub server tool, even when the request does not require any workspace or file context.
Description
In Agent Mode with the GitHub MCP server (remote in my case), simple requests that only require a remote server action (like creating a new repo) trigger unnecessary operations. The agent inspects the local workspace and files before calling the relevant GitHub tool, which is not needed for simple, direct server requests. This adds unnecessary response length and wait time. The agent should call the server tool directly when the user request does not depend on local context.
