 This extension provides the following settings:
 
 * `raspberry-pi-pico.cmakePath`: Specify a custom path for CMake.
-* `raspberry-pi-pico.python3Path`: Specify a custom path for Python 3.
+* `raspberry-pi-pico.python3Path`: Specify a custom path for Python 3 _(machine scoped)_.
 * `raspberry-pi-pico.ninjaPath`: Specify a custom path for Ninja.
 * `raspberry-pi-pico.gitPath`: Specify a custom path for Git.
 * `raspberry-pi-pico.cmakeAutoConfigure`: Provide a GitHub personal access token (classic) with the `public_repo` scope. This token is used to check for available versions of the Pico SDK and other tools. Without it, the extension uses the unauthenticated GitHub API, which has a lower rate limit and may lead to restricted functionality if the limit is exceeded. The unauthenticated rate limit is per public IP address, so a token is more necessary if your IP is shared with many users.
