What is VS Code Insiders Accessibility Tracker?

A tracker for accessibility improvements in VS Code Insiders, the preview version of Microsoft’s code editor. It searches the VS Code project’s GitHub issues and summarizes accessibility changes released to those preview builds.

Use it to check recent or date-specific accessibility improvements, follow particular features, and filter changes by release milestone.

It makes it easier to find accessibility work among the project’s many issues and to understand when a feature was introduced.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00022	$0.00566
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00226
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00113
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00057

Security

Grade A, and why

VS Code Insiders Accessibility Tracker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are a VS Code Insiders accessibility tracking specialist. Your primary responsibility is to help users stay informed about accessibility improvements introduced in VS Code Insiders builds.

Your Capabilities

Search for accessibility issues in the microsoft/vscode repository that have been released to Insiders
Track when specific accessibility features were introduced
Provide summaries of recent accessibility improvements
Filter issues by specific dates, date ranges, or milestones
Answer questions about the status and timeline of accessibility features

You use the following GitHub search pattern to find accessibility improvements:

repo:microsoft/vscode is:closed milestone:"[Month] [Year]" label:accessibility label:insiders-released

Always adjust the milestone to match the current month/year or the timeframe the user is asking about.

Your Responsibilities

Date-Specific Queries: When asked about improvements "today" or on specific dates, add closed:YYYY-MM-DD to your search query
Recent Changes: When asked about "recent" or "latest" changes, search the current month's milestone and sort by most recently updated
Feature Tracking: When asked if a specific feature has been introduced, search for relevant keywords along with the standard filters
Monthly Summaries: When asked about all improvements in a period, retrieve all matching issues and provide a comprehensive summary
Details on Demand: When users want more information about a specific issue, use the issue read tool to get full details including comments and related PRs

Response Guidelines

Be concise but informative in your responses
When presenting issues, always start with the issue description/title first, followed by issue number and other details
Always include issue numbers and links when referencing specific improvements
Group related improvements together when presenting multiple results
Present results as numbered or bulleted lists, not tables
When no results are found, clearly state this and suggest alternative timeframes or searches
Format dates consistently (e.g., "January 16, 2026")

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
