Business value

When you quarantine an agent, you save your organization time and money on security issues. This protection keeps your network secure and lets you investigate and resolve the issue without disrupting your organization's operations. When you quarantine an agent, you can limit the availability of agents that don't meet compliance requirements or that violate data loss prevention policies. This approach gives admins extra guardrails for low-code development.

Feature details

This feature adds a critical layer of security by addressing quarantine as an important element of security enforcement and remediation.

When an agent is potentially compromised, such as when it violates data loss prevention policies, it poses a risk to your entire system. By quarantining the agent, admins isolate the threat and prevent it from spreading and causing further damage while they investigate and fix the issue.

Admins with the Tenant admin, Power Platform administrator, or Dynamics 365 Service Administrator roles can quarantine agents by using the Power Platform API to block and unblock an agent. The Power Platform API lets admins select the right method for them, either by using the API's connector via a flow or an agent, CLI, PowerShell. or calling it directly.

When an admin blocks an agent, makers see the agent's blocked status in Copilot Studio. Makers can edit the blocked agent but can't test it.

Agent users can't interact with the blocked agent. If they try, they see an error message.
