Who is Microsoft Agent 365 best for?
Microsoft Agent 365 is best for IT and security teams on Microsoft 365 E5 that need to track and restrict every AI agent.
IT teams with many agents
One registry lists every agent in the company, whether Microsoft built it, a partner supplied it or your own team registered it.
Security teams on Microsoft tools
Conditional access, threat protection and data loss controls extend from people to agents inside Entra, Defender and Purview, so there is no new console to learn.
Cleaning up agent sprawl
Rules can retire inactive agents, flag agents with no owner and block risky ones without an admin checking each one by hand.
Limiting what agents can reach
Admins decide which users, data, tools and MCP servers each agent may use, so an agent only touches what its job needs.
