Body

When a user chats with my agent from github.com it would be good if my agent knew what page you were currently on.

Are there plans to implement queries such as this as tools?

When the user sends # commands from VS Code these come through as content, but I would expect to see tools available to query this information also, or for it to be provided in copilot_references

Example, the all my agent sees is:

[#terminalLastCommand](#terminalLastCommand-context) [#file:github_copilot.go](#file:github_copilot.go-context) 

...great, but what was the last command? What's the path of the file? What's the content? Where is the cursor/highlight?

If I built a VS Code extension, could I register tools to be added to be invoked in the IDE?
