GitHub Copilot is GitHub’s AI pair programmer that suggests code completions, explains code, and runs agentic workflows across your editor and terminal. It works in the VS Code extension and the copilot CLI.

​
Prerequisites

Before setting up the integration, ensure you have:

​
Setup with Unbound CLI

unbound setup copilot
This installs the Unbound hooks for Copilot. Both the VS Code extension and the copilot CLI pick up the same hooks. Restart your terminal (and reload the VS Code window) after setup. To remove the Unbound configuration: 
unbound setup copilot --clear

​
Usage

​
Basic Usage

After configuration, every tool call Copilot makes — shell commands, file reads, file writes, edits — is intercepted by the Unbound hooks. Policies are checked before the tool runs, and matching actions (block, warn, audit, Slack approval) are enforced inline.

​
Security Benefits

Using GitHub Copilot with Unbound Security AI Gateway provides:
  • Request Monitoring: All Copilot tool calls are logged and monitored
  • Analytics: See which files and commands Copilot touches across your org
  • Compliance: Ensure AI interactions meet your organization’s standards
  • Audit Trail: Complete visibility into AI usage patterns
