## What id-gen does, in the publisher's words

A GitHub Copilot Agent Plugins 1.0 marketplace with one plugin: ID Generator.

Generates UUIDs (v4) or random hex tokens. The agent calls a bundled, zero-dependency MCP tool, so its work shows up as a concrete result in Copilot chat.

- Agent: ID Generator (appears in the Copilot agent picker)
- MCP tool: generate_id: returns one or more random ids
- Set chat.plugins.enabled to true in VS Code settings.
- Add this marketplace to chat.plugins.marketplaces: json { "chat.plugins.marketplaces": ["ankmay0/id-gen"] }
- Open the Extensions view, search @agentPlugins, and install id-gen.
- Select ID Generator in the Copilot agent picker and try: > Give me 3 UUIDs

The plugin's MCP server is trusted automatically (no startup prompt).

From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized. Full text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ankmay0/id-gen/HEAD/README.md
