0.6.0 — Settings on Visual Studio 2022 (preview)

Added

  • An Options page for Visual Studio 2022 (17.14). Visual Studio 2022 does not show the extension's page in All Settings, so
    there was no way to change the permission tiers, the consent timeout, masking, the limits or the log level there. They are now in
    Tools → Options → Debugging via MCP → General and take effect when you press OK. In Visual Studio 2026 the settings stay in
    Tools → Options → All Settings → Debugging → Debugging via MCP, and the new page is not used there.

Fixed

  • Visual Studio 2022: calls failed with busy for a dialog that was not there. The extension read Visual Studio's main window once
    and kept it; when that window was gone, every call that moves the program reported a dialog. The window is now taken from Visual
    Studio's own automation object and looked up again when it is no longer valid.
  • exception_set with an empty name in names is refused before anything is written.
  • When exception_set stopped halfway and putting back what it had written failed too, that change was forgotten. It now stays
    recorded, so exception_reset and the release when the agent disconnects can still undo it.

Changed

  • The file attached to a GitHub Release carries the version: DebugViaMcp-<version>.vsix.
