"Microsoft Entra Agent ID has been released in an extensive form in public preview. This gives organizations a "complete inventory of their agent fleet," according to Microsoft. Thanks to an agent registry, AI agents appear in exactly the same interface as human users. This makes it immediately clear what permissions an agent has and whether it is consulting the resources that are to be expected. Built-in lifecycle management prevents agents from wandering around and potentially being used by malicious parties."
"In that respect, the two largest identity players are in agreement: agents are often similar to human users when looking purely at the logs and traces, and require roughly the same management capabilities as humans. The use of AI is also protected. Protection against prompt injections, filtering of network files, and even detection of undocumented use of AI help administrators to harness the technology. In addition, MCP servers can no longer be accessed via the URL with Entra Agent ID."
Entra Agent ID enters public preview to give organizations a complete inventory of AI agents via an agent registry that displays agents alongside human users. Permissions and resource access become visible, enabling built-in lifecycle management to prevent unauthorized agent movement and misuse. Access management features reduce risks of agents accessing sensitive information whether active or idle. The platform includes protections against prompt injections, network-file filtering, and detection of undocumented AI use. Entra prevents MCP server access via URL when Agent ID is enabled. The Entra Suite also gains admin conveniences such as periodic access reviews for critical applications.
