New features and improvements in Copilot for JetBrains
AI-assisted approvals and plan review for Copilot agent sessions
GitHub Copilot for JetBrains 1.18.0 adds AI-assisted tool approvals in public preview, allowing low-risk tool calls to receive automatic approval while higher-risk actions require user confirmation.
The update also introduces message re-editing in agent sessions, support for organization and enterprise skills and custom instructions, plan mode for the Codex agent, persistent per-tool controls for MCP servers, and a side-by-side chat panel switcher.

Low-risk tool calls receive automatic approval, while higher-risk actions continue to prompt you for a decision. This gives you fewer approval interruptions for low-risk actions while keeping higher-risk decisions in your hands.
