Microsoft
VS Code 1.120 graduates the Agents window from Insiders to Stable, providing a dedicated interface for multiple agents across multiple projects. New safety features include terminal command risk assessment with AI-generated Safe/Caution/Review badges and terminal output compression to reduce context window usage. BYOK token visibility and configurable thinking effort for reasoning models were also added.
Why it matters
Stable release of the Agents window makes multi-project agent workflows accessible to all VS Code users. The terminal risk assessment feature addresses a major safety concern with autonomous agents executing shell commands.
