Assigning a code scanning alert to Copilot triggers it to explore relevant files across the codebase, propose a fix, rerun CodeQL to validate the fix closes the alert, and then open a draft pull request with a summary and validation details for review. It can be invoked from individual alerts, batched for up to 25 alerts in security campaigns, or via the Code Scanning REST API by setting the assignee to copilot-swe-agent[bot].
