Copilot Studio hooks add lifecycle workflow controls

Diesen Beitrag auf Deutsch lesen

Preview hooks run workflows at six agent lifecycle events, including before a tool call, but failed hooks do not stop the agent.

TL;DR

Copilot Studio preview hooks for agents using the GitHub Copilot harness can run workflows at six lifecycle events. A before-tool hook can inspect or modify arguments and deny a call, while post-call hooks can alter results or log activity. Failed, timed-out or unreadable hook responses allow the agent to continue.

Why it matters

  • Makers: Pilot one update tool with a before-tool hook, then test both an explicit denial and a broken workflow.
  • Admins/IT: Keep mandatory authorization and business-rule enforcement in the underlying service because a failed hook does not block the agent.
  • BI/Data teams: For Dataverse scenarios, log update-tool activity and validate that rejected requests do not violate business rules.
