About this tag
The agent framework tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's push to transform Copilot and Azure AI into production-ready agent platforms. Discussions center on the Microsoft Agentic Framework, an open-source SDK for multi-agent orchestration, and Agent 365, a governance and inventory control plane for enterprise agents. Topics include policy-driven automation, Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, and the shift of Windows into an agentic OS. Recurring themes involve multi-step task automation, identity-bound agent actions, and operational responsibilities for IT teams. The tag reflects Microsoft's evolution from chat assistants to auditable, cooperative agent fleets that act across business systems.
