Description

Updated the hve-core-installer.agent.md to use current VS Code Copilot tool names. The agent's frontmatter tools list has been corrected to reflect the tool naming conventions used in more recent versions of VS Code.

Changes:

• Updated tool names from legacy format to current format:
  • execute/runInTerminal → runCommands/runInTerminal
  • read → search/readFile
  • vscode/runCommand → runCommands
  • vscode/newWorkspace → new/newWorkspace
• Maintained all existing functionality while ensuring compatibility with current VS Code Copilot tooling

@cicorias - the current tool selection is aligned to the latest insiders release of VSCode insiders. Are you in normal vscode?

yes on stable -- but I was seeing the opposite - ie. these were the former ones in stable.

+1, I'm on latest insiders and the tools in the chatmodes I'm using are out of date.

[katriendg]

The Tools listed in several chatmodes are indeed out of date for now (we are waiting on a bigger feature release to allows us to move from chatmodes to custom agents and upgrade the tools naming), but this PR is addressing only the hve-core-installer.agent.md file which according to VS Insiders version Version: 1.108.0-insider has the re-worked and correct tool names. No squiggles on my version.

To everyone watching this PR, we are working on a broader fix for all the chatmodes and agents right now. Hang tight.
