Data policy example - Configure a policy for skills

Agent makers in your organization can extend their agents with skills. Skills can be a useful way of extending the functionality of your agents, however you may want to configure which skills agents can use for security purposes.

You can use the Skills with Copilot Studio connector in Power Platform data policies to configure which agents can connect to skills.

See the Configure data policies for agents topic for information about other data policy related connectors.

Confirm data policy enforcement in Copilot Studio

You can confirm that this connector is being used in the data policy from Copilot Studio.

Open your agent from the environment where the data policy is applied, and try to add a skill to the agent.

If the policy is enforced, the Add a skill panel reports an error and suggests you contact an admin to add the skill to the allowlist.
