Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Copilot Studio

Please install this package via pip:

pip install agent-framework-copilotstudio --pre

Copilot Studio Agent

The Copilot Studio agent enables integration with Microsoft Copilot Studio, allowing you to interact with published copilots through the Agent Framework.

Prerequisites

Before using the Copilot Studio agent, you need:

1. Copilot Studio Environment: Access to a Microsoft Copilot Studio environment with a published copilot
2. App Registration: An Azure AD App Registration with appropriate permissions for Power Platform API
3. Environment Configuration: Set the required environment variables or pass them as parameters

Environment Variables

The following environment variables are used for configuration:

• COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__ENVIRONMENTID - Your Copilot Studio environment ID
• COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__SCHEMANAME - Your copilot's agent identifier/schema name
• COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__AGENTAPPID - Your App Registration client ID
• COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__TENANTID - Your Azure AD tenant ID

Basic Usage Example

import asyncio
from agent_framework.microsoft import CopilotStudioAgent

async def main():
    # Create agent using environment variables
    agent = CopilotStudioAgent()

    # Run a simple query
    result = await agent.run("What is the capital of France?")
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())

Explicit Configuration Example

import asyncio
import os
from agent_framework.microsoft import CopilotStudioAgent, acquire_token
from microsoft_agents.copilotstudio.client import ConnectionSettings, CopilotClient, PowerPlatformCloud, AgentType

async def main():
    # Acquire authentication token
    token = acquire_token(
        client_id=os.environ["COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__AGENTAPPID"],
        tenant_id=os.environ["COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__TENANTID"]
    )

    # Create connection settings
    settings = ConnectionSettings(
        environment_id=os.environ["COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__ENVIRONMENTID"],
        agent_identifier=os.environ["COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__SCHEMANAME"],
        cloud=PowerPlatformCloud.PROD,
        copilot_agent_type=AgentType.PUBLISHED,
        custom_power_platform_cloud=None
    )

    # Create client and agent
    client = CopilotClient(settings=settings, token=token)
    agent = CopilotStudioAgent(client=client)

    # Run a query
    result = await agent.run("What is the capital of Italy?")
    print(result)

asyncio.run(main())

Authentication

The package uses MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) for authentication with interactive flows when needed. Ensure your App Registration has:

• API Permissions: Power Platform API permissions (https://api.powerplatform.com/.default)
• Redirect URIs: Configured appropriately for your authentication method
• Public Client Flows: Enabled if using interactive authentication

Examples

For more comprehensive examples, see the Copilot Studio examples which demonstrate:

• Basic non-streaming and streaming execution
• Explicit settings and manual token acquisition
• Different authentication patterns
• Error handling and troubleshooting
