Summary
GitHub's July 8, 2026 Copilot changelog for VS Code (covering versions 1.123–1.127) makes agentic browser tools generally available — letting agents navigate pages, inspect content, capture screenshots, and validate web apps inside the editor — and adds agent session organization, per-subagent credit visibility, and PR creation from a session.
What changed
The July 8, 2026 update promotes Copilot's agentic browser tools to general availability so agents can drive a browser to navigate, inspect, screenshot, and validate web apps directly in VS Code. It also adds grouping and drag-and-drop for the Agents window, credit-usage visibility across a full chat and per delegated subagent, model-provider discovery from within the editor, and one-step pull request creation with title and description generated from session context.
Why it matters
Giving coding agents a real browser closes the loop between writing code and verifying it in a running app, a capability that separates end-to-end agents from code-only assistants. The session-management and per-subagent cost controls also signal that multi-agent delegation is becoming a mainstream workflow that teams now need to observe and budget.
