Submit agent to the Agent Store from Agent Builder

Introduction

We're introducing the ability to submit agents built with Agent Builder for administrator review and approval before publishing to the organization's catalog in the Agent Store—making it easier to scale distribution of high-quality internal agents while maintaining IT admin control. Once approved, agents appear in the Built by your org section of the Agent Store, where users across the org can discover and install them.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 557173.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in mid‑May 2026 and is expected to complete by late May 2026.

How this affects your organization:

Who is affected:

• Users of Agent Builder.
• Microsoft 365 administrators responsible for reviewing and publishing agents.
• Users who discover and install organization‑approved agents from the Agent Store.

What will happen:

There is no impact to users unless an agent is submitted, approved, and published by an administrator. Here is how it works:

• Submission: Agent Builder users can request org publishing of their agents by selecting Submit to your org catalog, including in tenants with sharing controls.

• Review: Submitted agents create a review request in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Using the existing publishing and approval workflow, admins have full control over which agents are published, who can access them, and how they are deployed (for example, scoping access to specific users or security groups, preinstalling, or pinning agents).

• Distribution: Users can discover and install approved agents directly from the Agent Store.

Management and Updates:

Once published, the agent appears as a separate entry in the Agent Registry under Agents > All agents. Agent updates require a new admin submission, and each one triggers a new review cycle before the updated version becomes available in the Agent Store.

What you can do to prepare:

• No action is required before rollout.
• Admins can familiarize themselves with the agent review experience in the Microsoft 365 admin center under Agents > All agents > Requests.
• Consider communicating this capability to internal agent makers so they understand the submission and approval process.
• Review internal guidance or documentation related to agent governance, if applicable.
