Manage connected agents in the Microsoft 365 admin center

On an agent's Connected Agents tab, you can view agents that provide information and answers when users interact with the primary agent. You can also add connected agents to Researcher and Sales. For other agents, you can view the connections configured by the agent developer, but you can't add or remove them.

What are connected agents

Connected agents are other Copilot-enabled agents that a primary agent can invoke during a conversation. When a user's request falls within a connected agent's domain, the primary agent can delegate the request to that agent.

Important

If a connected agent is external to your organization, the primary agent can include information from its context in the prompt it sends to the connected agent. The primary agent determines what information is needed for the connected agent to respond accurately. Review the connected agent and your organization's data policies before making it available to users.

For connected agents to work, both the primary agent and the connected agent must be acquired for the user. You can install each agent for users from the Microsoft 365 admin center.
