Body

Description
I am using the GitHub MCP Server in Visual Studio 2022. I have created a Copilot Space and attached several local files (specifically .md files) to it.
When I use the get_copilot_space tool, it successfully retrieves the space metadata, but it fails to reference or retrieve the content of the attached files. The model responds stating that the file content is not found or cannot be read from the space information.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Visual Studio 2022 with GitHub Copilot and the GitHub MCP Server configured.
2. Create a Copilot Space and add a local markdown file (e.g., test.md).
3. Ask Copilot to read the file using the space (e.g., "Read test.md from the current space").
4. The get_copilot_space tool is called.
5. Copilot reports that it cannot find the specific file content within the space data.

Expected Behavior
I expected get_copilot_space (or a subsequent tool chain) to be able to access the content of files that have been explicitly added to the Copilot Space, similar to how it works in the GitHub website chat interface.

Questions

1. Is this a known limitation of the current get_copilot_space tool?
2. Are there any plans to support retrieving content from local files added to a Copilot Space in future updates?
3. Is there any configuration or workaround currently available to make the file contents accessible via MCP?
