purview-agent-365-security

purview-agent-365-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,254 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for securing and governing AI agents, including Microsoft 365 Copilot agents, Copilot Studio agents, and Security Copilot agents. It covers the data they access, the information they produce, and the identities and actions they use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to restrict agent knowledge sources, apply data-loss prevention and sensitivity labels, review communications, govern agent identities, and limit autonomous actions.
Why use it?
An AI agent may access enterprise data or take actions on a user's behalf, creating risks beyond ordinary chatbot use. This helps apply appropriate access, protection, monitoring, and compliance controls.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

purview-agent-365-security 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 9d 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.

Securing AI Agents with Microsoft Purview

As organisations build and deploy AI agents (Microsoft 365 Copilot agents, Copilot Studio agents, Security Copilot agents), Microsoft Purview extends data security and compliance controls to the data those agents access and produce - and to the agent identities themselves.

When to use

Governing the data-security and compliance posture of AI agents before and during rollout, especially when agents are granted access to enterprise data sources or autonomous actions.

Do not use this skill for end-user Copilot oversharing alone (use purview-copilot-oversharing) or for prompt-level AI monitoring without agents in scope (use purview-dspm-ai).

Pick the right control per agent type

Agent type Primary controls
M365 Copilot agent (user-grounded) Inherits user permissions - oversharing remediation + labels + DLP for Copilot
Copilot Studio agent (declarative, knowledge sources) Restrict knowledge sources + DLP + Communication Compliance
Copilot Studio agent (autonomous/with actions) All above + Entra identity governance + least-privilege actions
Security Copilot agent Workspace permissions + audit + scope to specific data plug-ins
Third-party agent in tenant Defender for Cloud Apps + Endpoint DLP + acceptable-use policy

Rule of thumb: the more autonomous the agent, the more it must be treated like a privileged identity - not just a piece of UX.

Approach

  1. Discover with DSPM for AI - Gain visibility into agent interactions and sensitive data accessed or generated by agents; action one-click protection recommendations. Verify: DSPM for AI dashboard shows agent activity volume and sensitive interaction counts.
  2. Control access (oversharing) - Because agents honour user permissions, remediate oversharing and apply sensitivity labels so agents can't surface content users shouldn't see. Verify: a test user via the agent cannot retrieve content they cannot reach directly.
  3. Apply DLP & labels - Extend DLP and sensitivity-label protection to agent grounding data and outputs where supported; configure DLP for Copilot to exclude top-tier labelled content. Verify: agent response excludes or warns on labelled-restricted content.
  4. Detect risky prompts - Use Communication Compliance / DLP for AI to detect sensitive data or prompt-injection patterns in agent interactions. Verify: a test prompt with PII generates a Communication Compliance alert.
  5. Audit & investigate - Use Purview Audit and Activity Explorer to log agent interactions for investigation and compliance; align with Insider Risk where relevant. Verify: agent interactions appear in audit search with user, agent, and prompt metadata.
  6. Govern identity - Treat agent identities as governed, least-privilege identities (Entra) - apply Conditional Access, periodic access reviews, and entitlement management. Verify: each non-user agent has an owner, a defined permission scope, and a renewal cadence.
  7. Lifecycle - Decommission unused agents on a cadence; orphaned agents are a permission sprawl risk. Verify: monthly agent inventory with owner re-attestation.
