windows agent containment

The tag 'windows agent containment' covers discussions about managing and restricting autonomous AI agents within Windows and Microsoft 365 environments. A key example is Microsoft Scout, an always-on OpenClaw-based assistant introduced at Build 2026 that operates across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, and the desktop. The tag focuses on the challenges and strategies for containing such agents—preventing them from acting without user consent, governing their identity via Entra, and ensuring they remain under administrative control. Topics include agent behavior monitoring, policy enforcement, and security implications of background agents that observe and act proactively. The tag is relevant for IT administrators and security professionals dealing with autonomous agent governance in enterprise Windows deployments.
