Custom Agents & Copilot Studio

Why agent sprawl matters

Copilot Studio and Power Platform make agent creation easy enough that anyone can do it. The same low barrier that drives adoption also drives sprawl: prototypes get built and forgotten, agents get created by employees who later leave, sensitive-data connectors get attached without review. Within a year a single tenant can have hundreds of agents, most unowned, many high-risk.

Without an inventory, the organization cannot answer the basic regulatory questions: which AI agents are running, what do they access, who owns them, and how do we shut them down?

What Rencore captures per agent

Creator identity, creation date, last execution, data sources connected, permission scope, audience breadth, usage frequency, error rate. Each property feeds policies that detect specific risks, unowned agents, inactive ones, agents with sensitive connectors and broad audience, agents with no usage but still consuming compute.

From inventory to action

Detection is the first step; remediation is the rest. Automations handle the common patterns, archive inactive agents after approval, reassign ownership when the creator leaves, quarantine agents that newly connect sensitive data sources. The Compliance pillar covers the audit side: evidence packs that demonstrate which agents existed, when they ran, and how risks were managed.
