AI Outcomes as a Service on Microsoft Foundry and Agent 365

Your agents, in your own Microsoft tenant. We build them on Microsoft Foundry, register and govern them through Microsoft Agent 365, and run them as AI Outcomes as a Service.

Tekscape builds AI agents on Microsoft Foundry in your own Azure tenant and brings them under Microsoft Agent 365, the Microsoft 365 control plane for observing, governing and securing agents. Each agent gets its own Microsoft Entra Agent ID, appears in your Agent 365 registry and is covered by the Purview and Defender controls you already use. We run the agents as a managed service and report them against an agreed outcome.

Microsoft Agent 365

Why we govern agents through Agent 365

Microsoft describes Agent 365 as providing "the ability to observe, govern, and secure the growing number of agents within organizations." It gives administrators a registry of agents, lifecycle and access control through the Microsoft 365 admin center and Microsoft Entra, and protection through Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Defender. Microsoft made it generally available for commercial customers in May 2026, licensed per user.

For you that means our agents are not a black box running somewhere else. Foundry agents we publish appear in your Agent 365 registry automatically, and with Entra Agent ID you can run access reviews, lifecycle policies and owner attestation on them like any other identity in your tenant.

Your data

Where your data lives on Microsoft Foundry

Microsoft's documentation for Foundry Agent Service says that data the service stores at rest is kept in the resource created in your Azure tenant, within the same geography. It also states that your prompts, completions and data are not available to other customers and are not used to improve OpenAI, Meta, Cohere or Mistral models.

Where processing happens depends on the model endpoints and tools an agent uses, so we document the data path for every agent before it goes live. Requests routed to an outside model are logged so you can check them.

Before we start

What your tenant needs

  • An Azure subscription

    Foundry resources are created in your own Azure subscription, so the agents and their stored data stay in your tenant.

  • Agent 365 licensing

    Agent 365 is licensed per user. Microsoft lists Microsoft 365 E5 as the prerequisite that works best with it. We review your current licenses with you before recommending any change.

  • An administrator's approval

    A global administrator in your tenant enables Agent 365 and approves agents before they are published. Nothing is published without that step.

  • A managed harness

    We add what Microsoft does not: tool access, memory, guardrails, human review, audit logs and outcome reporting for each agent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is Microsoft Agent 365?
Microsoft Agent 365 is Microsoft's control plane for AI agents in an organization. In Microsoft's words, it provides the ability to observe, govern and secure agents, through a registry of agents and controls in Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview and Microsoft Defender.
Do our AI agents run in our own Microsoft tenant?
Yes. We build agents on Microsoft Foundry in your own Azure tenant, and data the service stores at rest stays in your tenant's resource, in the same geography. The agents are published to your own Agent 365 registry.
Does Microsoft use our data to train models?
Microsoft's Foundry Agent Service documentation states that your prompts, completions and data are not available to other customers and are not used to improve OpenAI, Meta, Cohere or Mistral models. We document each agent's data path before it goes live.
What licenses do we need for Agent 365?
Agent 365 is licensed per user, and Microsoft lists Microsoft 365 E5 as the prerequisite that works best with it. Licensing changes over time, so we review your current licenses with you before recommending anything.
Can our administrators see and switch off every agent?
Yes. Each agent has its own Microsoft Entra Agent ID and appears in your Agent 365 registry, so your administrators can review its access, apply lifecycle policies and deprovision it like any other identity.
What does Tekscape add on top of Microsoft Foundry?
The outcome and the operation: we agree the outcome and the acceptance test with you, build the agent inside a managed harness with human review and audit logs, run it, report against the outcome monthly and re-test it when models or systems change.
