Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit Overview

Important

TeamsFx SDK is no longer supported by Microsoft for building Microsoft 365 Copilot extensions, Microsoft 365 agents, or modern Teams app scenarios. The SDK is currently in deprecation mode and will receive community-only support on GitHub until September 2026.

For all new Microsoft-supported development (Copilot extensions, AI agents, Teams apps, or broader Microsoft 365 extensibility), use:

New projects should not be built with TeamsFx. Existing TeamsFx solutions should be migrated to the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK.

Agents Toolkit (previously known as Teams Toolkit) makes it simple to get started with agent and app development for Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Microsoft 365 Copilot using Visual Studio Code.

  • Create new agents and apps from project templates for common scenarios.
  • Save setup time with automated agent or app registration and configuration.
  • Run and debug to Teams, Outlook, and Copilot directly from Visual Studio Code.
  • Smart defaults for hosting in Azure using infrastructure-as-code and Bicep.
  • Test with different configurations such as dev, test, and prod using Environment.

Important

Agents Toolkit is actively expanding support for building apps in Government Community Cloud (GCC), GCC High, Department of Defense (DoD), and Teams operated by 21Vianet environments.

Support for GCC‑Moderate (GCC‑M) is now available in this alpha build. Feel free to download it and try it with your government account. Ensure the Sovereign Cloud Environment setting is set to GCC‑M. We expect to make this capability publicly available in the stable release in early March, after incorporating early feedback.

Screenshot shows the Sovereign Cloud Environment setting configured to GCC Moderate (GCC-M) in Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit settings.

Support for GCC High and DoD environments is not yet available, but both are on our roadmap. Updates will be shared as soon as they are ready.

The following list provides the key capabilities of Agents Toolkit:

Project templates

Save time getting started with new Teams agents and apps using the capability-focused templates for tabs, bots, message extensions, and common agent and app scenarios.

Screenshot shows the list of new agent and app menu you can create in Visual Studio Code.

Composable automation tasks

Automate repetitive or tedious configuration using a composable task framework that creates app IDs, agent or bot registrations, Microsoft Entra apps, and so on.

Multiple environments

Test your agent or app with different groupings of hosted resources by creating unique configurations such as dev, test, and prod using Environments.

Quick access to Teams Developer Portal

You can access Teams Developer Portal where you can configure, publish, and manage your agent or app. For more information, see manage your Teams agents or apps using Developer Portal.

Screenshot shows the Developer Portal option.

Debug tunneling for agents and bots

Run and debug your agents and bot projects using Visual Studio Code and the included Dev Tunnels capabilities.

Microsoft 365 Agents Playground

Microsoft 365 Agents Playground (previously known as Teams App Test Tool) makes debugging agents and bot-based apps effortless. You can chat with your agent or bot and see its messages and Adaptive Cards as they appear in Teams. You don’t need a Microsoft 365 developer account, tunneling, or Teams agent and bot registration to use Agents Playground. For more information, see Agents Playground.
