GitHub adds REST API auditing for `Copilot` cloud agent repo config
FIG-7251:1

GitHub adds REST API auditing for `Copilot` cloud agent repo config

Repo-level agent settings can now be checked by API instead of manual UI review. Useful for keeping automation permissions visible before cloud agents touch production code.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. New endpoint: Get Copilot cloud agent configuration for a repository, currently in public preview.
  2. Best fit is policy drift checks across repos: scan whether agent access and configuration match your expected defaults.
  3. This is governance plumbing, not a coding-speed feature. Worth adopting if Copilot agents run on real repos.
