Copilot users on eligible plans can request reviews through REST and GraphQL APIs and set an effort level for each request.

GitHub has made requests for Copilot code reviews through REST and GraphQL APIs generally available to users on Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise plans. API callers can optionally choose an effort level for each review, enabling teams to start reviews from scripts, workflows or internal tools they already use. Balanced is now the default effort setting for new and existing repositories and organizations using Copilot code review, while users who had explicitly chosen Lite keep that choice. That default change took effect September 28, 2026, after GitHub announced it on August 28, 2026. The setting can be changed at enterprise, organization, repository or personal scope, and each level can override the one above it.
