  • Nothing said about status; launch event convention: generally available unless stated otherwise.

Where they talk about it

Quotes

  • 3:28 "The snapshot debugging MCP server is built into the standard Microsoft business central MCP infrastructure." - States that snapshot debugging for agents uses the standard Business Central MCP infrastructure, not a separate service.

Prerequisites mentioned

  • VS Code option reuses the existing AI development sign-in

Documented features match

  • Debug recorded Business Central failures with an AI agent - medium confidence (llm). Docs say: General availability, roadmap id 573361. Snapshot agent tooling
  • Product documentation: Snapshot debugging, checked 2026-10-02. In Visual Studio Code agent mode, the AL extension registers the Business Central Snapshot MCP Server automatically and derives the connection from your launch.json. Note: Wave 2 content; also shows Claude CLI and GitHub Copilot CLI hosts and ALTool launchsnapshotmcpproxy (preview with runtime 18 prerelease).

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale.
