# Troubleshooting ## Common Issues ### Tool Limits - Use manual gadget discovery: `-gadget-images=trace_dns:latest` - In VS Code, create a [custom chat session](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/chat-modes#_custom-chat-modes) with specific tools ### Kubeconfig Issues - Verify file exists: `~/.kube/config` - Check Docker mount path in configuration - Test connectivity: `kubectl cluster-info` - For certificate paths: mount additional volumes or run binary directly ### Token Limit Reached - Reduce scope: specify namespace, limit results (e.g., top 5) - Use shorter timeouts - Start a new VS Code Copilot Chat session ### Connection Problems - Ensure VS Code MCP extension is enabled - Verify Docker is running: `docker --version` - Check VS Code developer console for errors - Restart VS Code or the MCP server ### Gadget Discovery Issues - Check internet connectivity - Try manual specification: `-gadget-images=trace_dns:latest` - Verify deployment: `kubectl get pods -n gadget` - Enable debug logs: add `-log-level=debug` flag
