Pull request overview

Changes:
- Removed
playwrightfrom the Built-in MCP servers table. - Removed
fetchfrom the Built-in MCP servers table. - Removed
timefrom the Built-in MCP servers table.

Summary
This pull request updates the Copilot CLI command reference to make the Built-in MCP servers section consistent with the documented behavior of the
--disable-builtin-mcpsoption on the same page.Before this change, the page said two conflicting things:
github-mcp-server,playwright,fetch, andtime.--disable-builtin-mcpsoption said the built-in MCP servers are currentlygithub-mcp-server.This change resolves that inconsistency by keeping only
github-mcp-serverin the Built-in MCP servers table.What changed
playwrightfrom the Built-in MCP servers table.fetchfrom the Built-in MCP servers table.timefrom the Built-in MCP servers table.Why
The safest documentation change here is to align the table with the more specific option text that already says the current built-in MCP server set is
github-mcp-server.Local verification also supported treating at least some of the removed entries as not built in in this environment:
Browser automation is unavailable.Time tools are unavailable.Given that evidence, keeping only
github-mcp-serveris the most conservative fix and removes the page's internal contradiction without making broader product claims.Prompt summary - submitted by @aosama
