security-copilot-agents

security-copilot-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (1,835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for using built-in Microsoft Security Copilot agents, which are semi-autonomous AI workers for repetitive security tasks such as phishing triage, alert triage, access-policy optimisation, and vulnerability remediation. Each agent has limited permissions and a supervision model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select and operate the right built-in agent, configure its identity and permissions, and begin with human approval while measuring its results.
Why use it?
It helps security teams handle large volumes of repetitive alerts and remediation work while keeping control over what the agents can access and do.

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

security-copilot-agents 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.

Microsoft Security Copilot Agents

Security Copilot agents are purpose-built, semi-autonomous AI agents that operate within Security Copilot to take on high-volume security workflows, learn from analyst feedback, and act inside the Microsoft Security products. Each agent has its own Entra Agent ID, scoped permissions, and a supervision model.

When to use

Use this skill when the user wants to offload a high-volume, repetitive triage or remediation workflow to an agent and is ready to govern an autonomous workload identity.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Basic Security Copilot setup, SCU provisioning, promptbooks (use security-copilot)
  • General Entra Agent ID design (use entra-id + Entra Agent ID guidance)
  • Building a custom agent from scratch (this skill is operating built-in agents)

Pick the right agent for the job

If the team is drowning in... Agent Owning product Recommended first mode
User-reported phishing tickets Phishing Triage Defender for Office 365 Recommendation - human approves verdicts for 2 weeks
DLP / Insider Risk alert backlog Alert Triage (Purview) Purview Recommendation - measure precision before autonomy
Stale or duplicate Conditional Access policies Conditional Access Optimization Entra ID Recommendation only - never autonomous in production
Patch / vuln backlog for endpoints Vulnerability Remediation Intune + Defender Vuln Mgmt Recommendation; deploy patches via existing change control
Threat-landscape briefings for leadership Threat Intelligence Briefing Defender Threat Intelligence Autonomous (read-only)
SOC analyst onboarding / context lookups Conditional Access / IR partner agents Partner ecosystem Recommendation - third-party data path

Rule of thumb: start every agent in Recommendation mode for 2-4 weeks. Measure agreement rate between agent verdict and human verdict. Only graduate to autonomous when agreement > 90% on the relevant queue.

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.
