Microsoft Agent 365 is a control plane for managing, securing, and governing AI agents across an organization.
Microsoft Agent 365 is an AI Agent Management control plane that helps enterprises register, secure, govern, and observe AI agents across their organization, with pricing available through Microsoft enterprise licensing agreements (custom Enterprise pricing). It targets IT administrators, security teams, and compliance officers at mid-to-large enterprises that are deploying multiple AI agents from Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, and third-party platforms and need a unified governance layer.
Announced by Microsoft in late 2025 as the natural extension of the Microsoft 365 identity and management stack into the agentic era, Agent 365 treats AI agents as first-class digital workforce members — assigning them identities through Microsoft Entra, scoping their permissions, monitoring their activity, and applying the same Zero Trust, Purview compliance, and Defender threat-protection policies enterprises already use for human users. The platform consolidates agents built across Microsoft's ecosystem (Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft 365 Copilot agents) and from partner vendors into a single registry so admins can answer the foundational question "what agents are running in my tenant, who built them, and what data can they touch?"
Based on our analysis of 870+ AI tools in the AI Tools Atlas directory, Agent 365 occupies a distinct slot in the AI Agent Management category: rather than being a builder (like LangChain or CrewAI) or a hosting runtime (like LangGraph Cloud), it is an enterprise governance plane comparable to Okta or CrowdStrike but purpose-built for non-human AI workers. Compared with emerging agent-ops alternatives such as Salesforce Agentforce, ServiceNow AI Agents, or Google Agentspace, Agent 365 differentiates through deep native integration with the Microsoft Entra, Purview, Defender, and Intune stack — making it the default choice for organizations already standardized on Microsoft 365 and Azure for identity, compliance, and endpoint management.

A central inventory that discovers and catalogs every AI agent operating in the Microsoft 365 tenant, regardless of whether it was built in Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, or a third-party platform. Each entry captures the agent's owner, data scope, model, last-active state, and lifecycle stage so administrators can answer 'what agents do we have running and who built them' in one screen.
Each agent receives a first-class identity in Microsoft Entra ID alongside human users and service principals, enabling Conditional Access, role-based permissions, and lifecycle automation. This eliminates the long-standing problem of agents running on shared service accounts with over-broad permissions and no clear audit trail.
Native integration with Microsoft Purview applies the organization's existing sensitivity labels, data loss prevention rules, and retention policies to every agent interaction. Audit logs flow into Purview's unified audit pipeline so compliance officers can reconstruct what an agent did, what data it touched, and when — using the same tools they already use for human user activity.
Microsoft Defender extends to agent-specific threat scenarios including prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, anomalous tool invocation, and data exfiltration. Alerts surface in the same Microsoft Defender XDR console security teams use for endpoints and identities, so agent risks do not become a separate, unmonitored attack surface.
Provides provisioning, role changes, ownership transfers, and decommissioning workflows for agents — analogous to joiner/mover/leaver processes for human employees. This addresses the operational reality that agents proliferate quickly across departments and need governed retirement to prevent accumulating technical and security debt.
