Description

Copilot Studio now let’s makers require human approval before an agent runs specific tools. With a per-tool, per-agent toggle, any gated tool call pauses and shows an approval request describing what the agent intends to do, so a person can approve, approve for the session, or deny before the action runs. This gives organizations a deterministic guardrail for high-stakes or sensitive operations like sending emails, closing tickets, or processing payments, independent of the agent's instructions. Approval requests appear inline in the channel where the agent is deployed, including Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
