**reasoningEffort** *(v1.0.66+)*: Override the reasoning effort level for this agent. Accepted values are `low`, `medium`, and `high`. This lets you pin specific agents to a cost/quality tradeoff regardless of the user's global setting — for example, a quick code-formatting agent can use `low` effort, while a security reviewer uses `high`: **reasoningEffort** *(v1.0.66+)*: Override the reasoning effort level for this agent.

> **New (v1.0.83+)**: Copilot CLI supports **Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD)** for MCP OAuth sign-in. Instead of registering a client dynamically with each server, the CLI can present a metadata document URL as its client identifier, simplifying OAuth setup for MCP servers that support this emerging standard.
