Useful conversation with: AI platform lead, Cloud architect, Engineering manager.
Show me a hosted agent deployed from a container that receives its own Entra identity, and the end-to-end trace of one of its runs.
Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.
Documented by provider
Offers prompt agents run with no code or infrastructure, hosted agents supplied as a container image or zipped source, direct Responses API calls, and ephemeral agents defined in application code.
Limit: Documentation does not state per-path regional availability or quota limits.
Documented by provider
Hosted agents are provided with a managed endpoint, automatic scaling, a dedicated Microsoft Entra identity, session-level state persistence and end-to-end observability.
Limit: The overview does not detail how Entra permissions are scoped per agent or how least privilege is enforced.
Documented by provider
Hosted agents can be built with Agent Framework, LangGraph, the OpenAI Agents SDK, the Anthropic Agent SDK, the GitHub Copilot SDK or custom code.
Limit: Microsoft Agent Framework is documented separately; the overview does not state version support matrices.
Documented by provider
Microsoft Agent Framework's Harness Agent documents 'don't-ask-again' tool approval alongside planning, context compaction, memory and observability.
Limit: This is a framework feature exercised in code, not a tenant-level approval workflow in the Agent Service.
Not established in this research
Administrative audit logging and role-based permission scoping for agent actions are not established by the pages reviewed.
Limit: Absence of evidence only; Azure platform-level RBAC and logging likely exist but were not verified here.
Listing does not imply partnership, supplier status, a working DutyGraph integration, or a compliance certification.
