Microsoft Copilot Studio

Microsoft Copilot Studio is a low-code Power Platform service used to build conversational agents. Makers define instructions, add knowledge sources and tools, and publish agents to Teams, websites, or Microsoft 365. Microsoft hosts model execution, so nothing of ours sits in the data path. There are two integration points, and they solve different problems. Use one or both.

Choose a path

Path	What it does	What you can enforce	Where you configure it
Threat detection	Copilot Studio calls TrustGuard before every tool the agent is about to run, including what earlier tools returned — whatever built that tool.	Monitor · Block	Power Platform admin center, per environment
Governed tool access	TrustGate publishes the assigned MCP servers through one OAuth endpoint and limits the catalog to the application’s registries and toolkit.	Tool access and rate limits	The agent’s MCP tool connection
Governed tool access + TrustGuard (optional)	The same MCP path, with a policy that evaluates `tools/call` requests and `CallToolResult` responses.	Monitor · Block · Transform	On the TrustGate application

The two paths are independent. Threat detection screens every tool the agent runs, whatever its source. Governed tool access governs only the MCP tools TrustGate publishes. These integrations apply to Copilot Studio agents that use generative orchestration. They do not apply to Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word, Teams, or Outlook.

Set up governed tool access

What this path covers, then the TrustGate application and the agent’s MCP connection — and the optional payload inspection.
