microsoft/Build26-BRK242-turn-your-agents-into-action-connect-tools-apis-and-documents contains Microsoft Build 2026 session resources about connecting AI agents to tools, APIs, and documents through governed tool selection. It is intended for developers building agents that need efficient access to MCP servers, A2A, OpenAPI, connectors, built-in tools, and structured content from multimodal files. The catalogue add-ons are session instructions for exploring these agent-building patterns.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00239 | $0.00239 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00048 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00024 |
Grade A, and why
Build26-BRK242-turn-your-agents-into-action-connect-tools-apis-and-documents copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
This is a Microsoft Build 2026 session content repository.
This repo has been finalized for publication. When helping with updates, keep changes attendee-facing and preserve the existing structure in /docs and /src.
Key constraints:
- Never commit secrets, API keys, or credentials. Use environment variables.
- Do not modify LICENSE, LICENSE-DOCS, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, or SECURITY.md.
- Do not add large binary files (PowerPoint, video, recordings) to the repo. Links are fine.
- Use the Microsoft Learn MCP Server (configured in .vscode/mcp.json) to find relevant learn.microsoft.com links when populating resource sections.
Issue Support
If a user asks for help filing an issue, or reports a problem:
- Check
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/to discover available issue templates - If templates exist, match the user's request to the best-fit template and walk them through the fields
- If no templates exist, create a plain issue with a clear title and description
- Check
gh label listfor available labels and apply relevant ones - Do not hardcode template names or labels — always discover what's available at runtime
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
