With no subcommand, or with `show`, the plugins dashboard opens showing your MCP servers. Select a server and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> for its details and for actions such as enabling or disabling it, or use `show SERVER-NAME` to open that server's details directly. `config` opens the MCP configuration interface instead of the dashboard. `list` (alias `ls`) prints a plain-text list of configured servers with connection status and live state, and is read-only, so it can run while the agent is busy processing a turn. All subcommands other than `config`, `show`, and `list` are blocked until the turn finishes. Sandboxed local servers show a `connected (sandboxed)` status.

 | `/model [--session\|--global\|--repo\|--local] [MODEL]`, `/models`      | Select the AI model you want to use, or choose **Auto**. By default (or with `--session`, alias `-s`), changes the model, reasoning effort, or context window for the current session only, without touching saved settings. `--repo`/`--local` pins the default model in repository settings instead; `--global` (or `/config model`) sets the default for future sessions. Press <kbd>Tab</kbd> on a model with a long-context variant to toggle its Context column between the default and long-context window. The picker groups models into sections—press <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> to cycle grouping between recommended (Recent, Recommended, New, and other models), vendor, and category. A model with vendor-specific data retention terms shows a data retention warning banner with a link to the vendor's policy. Usable mid-turn: a change requested while the agent is running is queued as a cancellable (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd>) command and applied once the current turn finishes, instead of switching the live model mid-request. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/models/auto-model-selection). |
 | `/permissions [default\|assisted\|allow-all\|show]`  | Switch between permission modes (`default`, `assisted`, `allow-all`), or show the current mode (`show`). This is the canonical command for permission mode changes; `/allow-all` and `/yolo` remain supported as aliases. |
 | `/permissions reset`                                | Reset all in-memory tool and path approvals for the current session (re-prompt on next use). |

-| `/plugin`                             | Open the plugins dashboard on the Plugins tab. Bare `/mcp` and `/skills` open the same dashboard, focused on the MCP or Skills tab instead. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/agents/about-plugins). |

Use the <kbd>←</kbd> and <kbd>→</kbd> keys to switch between the **Installed**, **Online**, and **Marketplace** views. The dashboard shows only plugins—use `/mcp` for MCP servers and `/skills` for skills. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/agents/about-plugins). |
