Concern about copilot replying to PR on behalf of developer without any indication

[happywhaler]

We have recently started working with the ADO MCP which is very cool and helpful :)
We noticed that the agent was able to post comments without any notice/indication that it is the agent posting them and not the actual user.

Can you please provide some context on what you were doing and what you are seeing?

sure.
There isnt a specific error or something, just a misleading behavior.
A member of our team provided permissions for copilot to ADO.
Using the agent, he created a PR and gave it permissions to reply to comments. The team started reviewing the PR and the agent replied to review comments (mostly defending and explaining its implementation choices). Since the agent uses the users permissions it looks like the comments were posted by the actual user so the rest of the team assumed they are discussing with the user. It was funny and harmless.
But it would be nice to have an indication that the comment was generated and posted by the agent. Its just weird having the actual user later add a comment to the review thread starting with "OK so this is the real me now... etc.".
I guess this is by design as permissions are given by the user but it is a bit misleading.
