Copilot Coding Agent

Body

I do not have any branch protection or rulesets enabled in my repos.

I am trying to assign issues created by GitHub MCP from vscode to copilot using CLI/MCP but I see below error :

The agent encountered an error and was unable to start working on this issue: This may be caused by a repository ruleset violation. See granting bypass permissions for the agent, or please contact support if the issue persists.

Try with an oAuth token, that worked for me. Classic and fine-grained PATs do not work for me.

Can you clarify what you mean by this?

[Tobias-Winckler]

I'm afraid that's too broad for me to easily do. I would probably use a lot of time trying to tell you alot of things you already know.
Can you list some direct questions?
Then I'll be happy to answer them 🙂
