Review agent readiness and issue status in Microsoft Copilot Studio (preview)

On the Overview page, the Agent status summary provides a single view of issues that affect your agent's readiness, publishing, and runtime behavior. It groups issues by severity and shows the status of tools and connectors blocked by data policies or Advanced Connector Policies, so you can quickly scan for governance, security, and readiness signals.

The Agent status summary helps you quickly understand:

  • Whether an agent is blocked, at risk, or ready
  • Which issues apply to draft, published, or both agent states
  • When organization policies cause restrictions
  • What action, if any, is required before publishing or using the agent

Note

The Agent status summary doesn't replace admin-level governance or compliance reporting.

Some detailed diagnostics might still be available in other experiences, such as exported reports or admin-focused tools.

Agent status summary

The Agent status summary appears on the overview page for an agent, under the Copilot details card.

The summary displays:

  • A count of issues by severity
  • A status badge that reflects overall agent readiness

When no blocking or warning issues are present, the agent is marked ready (green).

Severity levels

When you select Review in the Agent status summary, you see agent issues grouped by severity:

Severity Description
Blocking Issues that prevent publishing or normal operation of the agent
Warning Issues that don't block the agent but might affect behavior or compliance
Info Advisory messages that don't affect readiness

Agents with no issues or only informative issues are marked ready (green).

Agent issues

The Agent status table consolidates and categorizes messages that previously appeared across multiple pages and formats. It helps you focus on the highest priority issues first by sorting issues by severity and providing a concise message for each issue.

Each issue in the Agent status table is categorized into the following attributes:

Attribute Description
Severity The level of the issue affecting the agent: Blocking, Warning, or Info
Message A clear description of the issue
State The state the issue applies to, showing whether it affects the draft agent, the published agent, or both
Source The originating area of the issue; for example, External, Authentication, Models, or Permissions
Category The type of issue and its effect
Action The required action, if one is available, to resolve the issue

For example, a channel-related governance issue might appear as a single, clear message indicating that a Teams channel is blocked due to organizational policy.

Blocked status

On the Tools page, tools blocked by policy appear as disabled cards. Users can only select tools that the policy allows. An information icon appears on the disabled card. Select the icon to see why the tool is disabled.

Policies can also block specific connector actions. When a policy blocks some actions for a connector, the portal shows the blocked actions as disabled action cards. Available actions stay enabled, making it clear which actions you can use.

Existing tools and connectors that have policy changes show a blocked status indicator in the Blocked column on the tools table. A blocked status indicator appears directly in the tools or channels panels on the overview page.
