Roo Code Integration Guide

Overview

Roo Code is a VS Code agent extension that can use tools, read files, run commands, and interact with MCP servers. Cup’n’String governs it as an active agent surface, not just editor extensions.

Support level

Active Proxy & Shielding

What Cup’n’String detects

• VS Code extension-host activity
• Roo configuration patterns where available
• MCP server usage
• Provider endpoints and custom base URLs

What it governs

• Tool calls
• MCP servers
• Provider/API traffic
• Secret exposure
• Local services

Recommended policies

• Require approved model/provider endpoints
• Force MCP through managed proxy
• Block unknown command/tool integrations
• Audit tool calls

Setup outline

1. Ensure the Cup’n’String agent daemon is running.
2. Launch VS Code with Roo Code installed.
3. Align the extension endpoint configurations to point through the Cup’n’String local port.

Verification

Confirm that Roo Code operations trigger warnings in the dashboard when trying to access shielded directories.

Troubleshooting

If processes are missed, verify that the extension host processes are properly registered in the system process table.

Known limitations

Visibility depends on extension configuration and whether custom endpoints bypass managed proxies.
