Agentic CLI customizations now in the usage metrics API
By Steven Van ·
Enterprise and organization reports now show top skills, custom agents, MCP servers, slash commands, and plugins used in the Copilot CLI.
The Copilot usage metrics API for GitHub Enterprise and organizations now reports agentic activity from the Copilot CLI: skills, custom agents, MCP servers, slash commands, and plugins. The fields appear in enterprise and organization per-user and aggregate 1-day reports, per-user 28-day reports, and the day_totals entries in aggregate 28-day reports.
For each category, a totals_by_* array lists up to five items with the most interaction_count activity, while a distinct_*_use_count field counts how many different items were used, including ones outside the top five. For MCP servers, the count increases on each connection or reconnection attempt, not on individual tool calls. Names are shown for recognized GitHub-provided items; customer-defined names are not shown, to protect privacy. See the full API reference for field details.
