Watch-outs for Organisational Agents
- Do not jump to Copilot Studio just because the word Agent sounds more advanced; use it when the use case genuinely needs actions, channels, integrations or stronger lifecycle control.
- Admins can govern environments, connectors, data movement and publishing through Power Platform controls.
- Prefer deliberately scoped sources and a designed execution identity; do not allow a shared Agent to rely silently on the maker's personal credentials.
- Where an Agent can take a consequential action, use human approval for the relevant tool call or a separate approval step where available.
- External-facing Agents need clear boundaries, handoff routes and monitoring.
- Published Agents should have named business and technical owners, approved sources, test/evaluation evidence, review dates and retirement criteria.
