About this tag
The hosted agents tag covers Microsoft Foundry’s move to general availability for production-grade, long-running workflows. This tag brings together coverage of how hosted agents work across frameworks, programming languages, and models, along with announced integrations such as GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft IQ, and Agent 365. It also reflects the practical questions involved in adopting these systems: reliability, permissions, data access, integration details, recovery behavior, cost, and the level of human oversight required for each workload. Use this archive to follow hosted agent developments while keeping the distinction clear between a generally available platform and an automatically unsupervised enterprise solution.
