Work IQ and M365 Agents Toolkit: Developing Microsoft 365 Copilot Agents from the Terminal

Microsoft has released Work IQ, a CLI and MCP Server that connects AI assistants to Microsoft 365 Copilot data. Alongside it, the M365 Agents Toolkit plugin enables scaffolding declarative agents, authoring JSON manifests, wiring up MCP servers, and deploying — all through natural language via GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. With MCP Apps and OpenAI Apps SDK support, interactive UI widgets can be added to declarative agents. Three skills, one install, zero context-switching — the fastest path from idea to deployed agent.

Protecting Sensitive Data in Copilot with Microsoft Purview DLP: Web Search Restrictions and Real-Time Prompt Evaluation

While Microsoft 365 Copilot boosts productivity, sensitive data in user prompts carries a risk of leaking through external web searches.
