Web Search Tool Calls Fail for BMAD-Method Agents #717
Description:
When Copilot CLI (version 0.0.365 Commit: 76d0881) interacts with BMAD-Method agents (version 6.0.0-alpha.13), calls to web search tools within these agents consistently fail.
Observed Behavior:
Web search tools invoked by BMAD-Method agents through Copilot CLI are not working.
Affected version
version 0.0.365 Commit: 76d0881
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Reproduction Steps:
Configure BMAD-Method agents, including web search tools.
Use Copilot CLI to interact with a BMAD-Method agent that is configured to use web search.
Observe that web search tool calls initiated via the agent through Copilot CLI do not execute successfully.
Expected behavior
Expected Behavior:
Copilot CLI should correctly facilitate the execution of web search tool calls made by integrated BMAD-Method agents.
Additional context
Workaround/Further Observation:
It has been observed that if the tools parameter is removed from the agent configuration files located in .github/agents/* within the BMAD-Method setup, the web search functionality starts working. This suggests a possible bug in how Copilot CLI (or its interaction with agents) manages or interprets tool permissions/configurations, specifically preventing tool execution when the tools parameter is present.
This appears to be resolved as of GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.103. Please update to that release or a newer stable version. We're closing this as completed. If it still happens, please comment with your version and reproduction steps.
