How does Agent Mode in GitHub Copilot works ?

Breakdown of what happens when you use Copilot agent mode:
You prompt Copilot with clear requirements on the end result you want.
Copilot parses the question and asks an AI language model how to resolve the task, then begins working.
Copilot monitors the first iteration for errors and determines how to fix them.
Agent mode autonomously uses various tools to get to the end result.
Not limited to just built-in tools , and can be by installing more specialized tools from Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers or extensions example being GitHub MCP Server.
