Microsoft demos Foundry agent governance: tracking access, impact and cost

FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-09-14

Jeff Hollan, who leads Microsoft's AI Agent platform, demonstrated how Microsoft Foundry handles agent observability and governance.

His core point: the hard part of enterprise agents isn't making them work — it's making sure they don't overstep. Foundry can track what an agent accessed, what it affected, where data went, what it did at each step, and whether costs stay under control.

Takeaway: before running agents long-term, enterprises first need observability and governance.
