Users can now manually access saved credentials when password suggestions don't appear automatically. When a user right-clicks a recognized username or password field, a new Select Password option appears in the context menu. This provides a reliable fallback path for sign-in scenarios where autofill suggestions are not surfaced, reducing the need for users to copy credentials manually. No configuration is required, and existing password management policies continue to apply.

Federated Copilot connectors (MCP type) currently let Microsoft 365 Copilot read data from third-party services in real time. With this update, the connector tools that create, update, and delete content in those services are unblocked in Copilot Chat, so users can complete work without leaving Copilot. Copilot acts with the user's own account and permissions at the third-party service, and every create, update, or delete action requires the user's explicit confirmation before it runs. Admins can view each connector's read and write/delete tools in the Microsoft 365 admin center and disable…

An AI agent does not need broad access because it might need a tool. It needs the smallest permission set required for the current task, under the correct identity, with a decision trail that explains every allow or deny. That distinction matters. A prompt can tell an agent not to delete data, but a prompt is not an authorization boundary. Least privilege must be enforced by identity, connection configuration, Azure role-based access control (RBAC), narrow tool contracts, and runtime policy—outside the model. This article shows an implementation pattern for doing that with Microsoft Foundry…

The pattern in this post: a Decision API picks the Work IQ tool before it runs. In short A Decision API picks the Work IQ tool ( fetch , retrieve or ask ) before anything runs, then checks the result. "Who is my manager?" took 20 to 25 seconds with ask and 1.3 seconds with fetch , with the same answer. Routed by Jev, answers came first on 12 of 13 real questions: a median of 5.6s, against 22.3s for Work IQ ask alone. Three hosted Decision APIs route almost equally well. On my 134 routing questions, Jev scored 131, and Microsoft-Decision-1 and OpenAI's Decisions API both 128.…

Your eval might be telling the agent it’s a test before the agent reads a single instruction. Eval tools need a fresh folder for every run, and the easiest way to get one is a temp directory with a random name like /tmp/eval-7f3a2c . The agent sees that path on every turn, in the system prompt as its working directory and in the output of every tool call. If models can tell when they’re being tested, a folder literally called eval is about the easiest giveaway there is. So we checked whether the folder name changes what agents do. Across about 900 runs and four models, it made them more…
