# Agent Control Pro Get Started Guide

Welcome to Agent Control Pro, the Copilot governance assistant for Microsoft 365 Copilot. This guide walks you through purchasing the offer, checking your subscription, uploading your first reports, and asking your first governance question. 🛡️

# What is Agent Control Pro?

Agent Control Pro helps IT administrators discover, classify, and govern every Copilot agent in their tenant, directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot, through plain-English questions. It answers with KPIs, duplicate findings, org-wide promotion candidates, adoption analytics, and cost analytics.

Agent Control Pro is read-only. It surfaces ranked recommendations and answers governance questions; you decide and act in the native Microsoft 365 admin tools.

# Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Agent 365 license for every user who calls Agent Control Pro (per user, not tenant-wide)
  • Active Microsoft 365 Copilot license
  • Tenant administrator access, to grant admin consent and upload reports
  • Ability to export the Microsoft 365 Copilot usage report from the Microsoft 365 admin center
  • Microsoft Graph delegated permissions: User.Read, CopilotPackages.Read.All
A Microsoft Agent 365 license is required per Agent Control Pro user. Microsoft applies the same requirement to the underlying Graph API: access to the Copilot Package Management API requires an Agent 365 license. See the licensing prerequisites for details.

# Start a free trial

You do not need to buy anything to evaluate Agent Control Pro. Start a free 7-day trial directly from the portal.

  1. 1

    Open the Agent Control Pro portal

    1. Go to agentcontrol.teams-pro.com.
  2. 2

    Sign in

    1. Sign in with your Microsoft 365 credentials.

    Use an account with tenant administrator rights, so you can grant consent and upload reports during the trial.

  3. 3

    Start your trial

    1. Start the free 7-day trial.
    2. Agent Control Pro becomes available in Microsoft 365 Copilot for your tenant.
During the trial, every catalog answer is capped at five agents and each response carries a banner showing when the trial ends. Data handling is identical to a paid subscription. See the limits page for details.

# Set up Agent Control Pro

When you are ready to move past the trial, purchase Agent Control Pro on Microsoft AppSource.

  1. 1

    Purchase Agent Control Pro on AppSource

    1. Open the Agent Control Pro listing on Microsoft AppSource (Microsoft Commercial Marketplace).
    2. Purchase the subscription as a tenant administrator.

    Agent Control Pro is delivered as a Microsoft 365 Copilot declarative agent backed by a remote MCP server, so there is nothing to deploy in your tenant.

  2. 2

    Activate your subscription

    1. You are redirected to the Agent Control Pro landing page.
    2. Click Activate.
  3. 3

    Grant admin consent

    1. Grant admin consent to the Agent Control Pro Entra application for your tenant.
    2. The agent becomes available in Microsoft 365 Copilot for authorized users.

    Consent is granted once for the whole tenant, so individual users are never prompted themselves.

# Access Agent Control Pro

  1. 1

    Open Microsoft 365 Copilot.

  2. 2

    Go to Copilot Agents.

  3. 3

    Select Agent Control Pro.

  4. 4

    Click a built-in conversation starter, or ask a freeform governance question.

If Agent Control Pro does not appear, verify that the subscription is active and that admin consent has been granted in Microsoft Entra.

# Key capabilities

Agent inventory Every Copilot agent in your tenant, classified by how it was built. Duplicate detection Agents serving the same purpose, with users split between them.
Org-wide candidates Shared agents with adoption broad enough to promote tenant-wide.
Adoption analytics Active users and usage trends from the Copilot usage report.
Cost analytics Power Platform consumption in credits, by agent and environment.
Unused agents Dormant agents with no usage in the last 30 days.
Read-only by design Recommendations only. You act in the native Microsoft 365 admin tools.
Beyond Copilot Chat The same tools in Copilot Cowork and the Teams Channel Agent.

# Check your subscription status

After activation, your tenant's Agent Control Pro portal includes a Subscription status page showing a live snapshot of your plan, sourced from the Microsoft Commercial Marketplace:

  • Current plan: the plan you purchased, the offer identifier, and when the subscription was last updated
  • State badge: Subscribed, Suspended, or Unsubscribed (a pending state is shown while activation is completing)
  • Trial countdown: if you are on a free trial, a Trial badge plus the trial end date and the number of days remaining
  • Subscription details: subscription ID, purchaser email, and creation date

Sign in with your Microsoft 365 administrator account to see the snapshot. If your tenant has no subscription yet, the page explains that the admin tools and the assistant are disabled until you purchase the offer on AppSource.

On a free trial, catalog answers are capped at five agents and every response carries a trial banner showing when the trial ends. Subscribing on AppSource lifts the cap.

# Upload your first usage report

To unlock adoption-aware answers such as top agents, active duplicates, and org-wide candidates, upload your Microsoft 365 Copilot usage report. Without it, Agent Control Pro answers from catalog metadata alone and tells you the upload is required for adoption ranking.

  1. 1

    Export the report from Microsoft 365

    1. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
    2. Open Reports, then Usage, then Microsoft 365 Copilot, then Agents.
    3. Export the report as CSV.
  2. 2

    Upload it to Agent Control Pro

    1. Open your tenant's Agent Control Pro admin portal (linked from your Microsoft Marketplace subscription).
    2. Sign in with your administrator account and upload the CSV.

    You will see a confirmation showing the upload timestamp and the number of rows ingested. The latest upload replaces the previous one, so re-upload regularly to keep recommendations fresh.

# Upload your billing report

To unlock cost answers such as spend per agent and tenant-wide FinOps rollups, upload your Power Platform consumption report.

  1. 1

    Export the consumption report

    1. Open the Power Platform admin center.
    2. Export the Copilot Studio consumption report as CSV.
  2. 2

    Upload it to Agent Control Pro

    1. In the Agent Control Pro admin portal, open Upload billing.
    2. Upload the CSV.

    Cost answers are reported in the report's native credits, with no currency conversion applied.

Both uploads are manual and both are optional. Agent Control Pro never calls the Microsoft 365 admin center or the Power Platform admin center on your behalf, and it tells you when a report is missing rather than failing.

# Ask your first question

Open Agent Control Pro in Microsoft 365 Copilot and click any of the built-in conversation starters:

  • 🗂️ Top Agent Builder agents: most-used agents authored in Agent Builder
  • 🔍 Find overlapping agents: common themes and potential duplicates
  • ⚠️ Active duplicates: agents serving the same purpose with users split between them
  • 🔀 Consolidation candidates: shared-link agents ready to become single org-wide replacements
  • 🌐 Org-wide candidates: shared agents with broad enough adoption (≥50 active users) for tenant-wide promotion
  • 💤 Unused agents: dormant agents in the catalog with zero usage in the last 30 days

You can also ask freeform governance questions, for example "Which agents has the finance team built?", "Show me sideloaded agents older than six months", or "Why did you flag this duplicate?"

Catalog answers render as an interactive Fluent 2 carousel of agent cards inside Copilot Chat; click any card to open that agent's detail view without typing a follow-up. Every answer closes with an "Acting on this in Microsoft Agent 365" section pointing you to the admin surface where you can act.

# Use Agent Control Pro beyond Copilot Chat

Agent Control Pro is also registered as a host-agnostic agent connector, so the same catalog and usage tools are available in Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork and the Teams Channel Agent. In Cowork, ask "Give me a governance report on our Copilot agents" to get a full written governance report: inventory by build type, adoption highlights, duplicate findings, org-wide promotion candidates, retirement candidates, and prioritized recommendations.

# What Agent Control Pro does NOT do

  • It does not modify, retire, or delete agents. Every recommendation is read-only; you act in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
  • It does not read the content of Copilot conversations, prompts, or responses.
  • It does not train any AI or machine-learning model on your data.
  • It does not access another tenant's data. Every record is hard-isolated by tenant identifier.
  • It does not require per-user role configuration. Any authenticated administrator in a consented tenant sees the same governance view.
