# Add VS Code Agents to Copilot usage metrics

By Steven Van · 2026-09-11

New REST API fields let enterprise and organization admins track adoption of the dedicated VS Code Agents window separately from Agent Mode.

Copilot usage metrics on [GitHub](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/github>)'s REST API now report activity from the dedicated VS Code Agents window. The change is generally available across enterprise and organization reports.

- Aggregate reports (1-day and 28-day) add **daily\_active\_vscode\_agent\_users** and a **totals\_by\_vscode\_agent** summary of session count and total user messages.

- User-level reports add a **used\_vscode\_agent** flag and per-user session and message totals.

The [metrics](<https://docs.github.com/rest/copilot/copilot-usage-metrics>) cover only the dedicated VS Code Agents window, not editor-window Agent Mode, and require the Copilot usage metrics policy to be enabled.
