Governance takeaway
- Admins/CoE: Inventory agents across Microsoft and compatible third-party platforms, because unmanaged agents can create visibility and lifecycle risks.
- Security/Compliance: Apply distinct identities, least privilege and access reviews, because agents may access corporate information and execute actions.
- Leadership/Business: Assign business sponsors and measure costs, activity and outcomes, because technical operation alone does not establish business value.
