Summary
GitHub updated its Copilot usage metrics API to report the names of custom skills, agents, MCP servers, slash commands and plugins an organization creates.
Key facts
- The change was announced on 2026-10-22.
- Metrics previously grouped these custom items together rather than naming them.
- The API covers skills, custom agents, MCP servers, slash commands and plugins.
Why it matters
Organizations building custom Copilot tooling can now see which of their own skills, agents and MCP servers are used, instead of a single combined figure.
