MCP elicitation auto-declined

“The extension never passes an onElicitation handler to the query, so every MCP elicitation is declined without being shown.”

No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Fading. 1 report or thumbs-up in the last 7 days and 2 the week before, down from 10 a week at the early-October peak. A workaround is known.

MCP elicitation requests auto-declined without showing a form. The VS Code extension declares the elicitation capability, but every elicitation/create request returns action "decline" with no dialog shown.
