Licence dependency

Personal Agents stage — can be created from Copilot Chat without the full Premium experience; richer organisational grounding needs additional access.

Credit dependency

Usually none for a simple personal/public Agent; organisational grounding can introduce metered use.

Watch-outs for Personal Agents

  • Do not overstate what a basic Agent can do: it is often closer to a reusable helper than an autonomous system.
  • Basic Agents do not automatically gain broad access to organisational work data.
  • If the Agent needs SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, connectors or broader work grounding, check licensing, admin controls and permissions.
  • Shared Agents should have an owner, purpose, scope and review date.
