{% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} uses free minutes for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} to run the agentic capabilities, including full project context gathering and any capabilities in {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %}. By default, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} uses {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners.

If your organization has disabled {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners, the agentic capabilities will not be available. In this case, code reviews will fall back to a more limited review. Organizations in this situation can use self-hosted runners.
