Features in this article are powered by the GitHub Copilot harness, which uses Copilot Credits for usage-based billing. Learn more about Copilot Credits in Overview of billing for agents powered by the GitHub Copilot harness.
Usage-based billing applies to using, building, testing, and evaluating agents. These actions might consume Copilot Credits.
View and edit connected agent details
Sign in to Copilot Studio.
Open your primary agent.
In the agent navigation bar, select the Build tab.
In the components panel on the right, Select any agent under the Connected agents button to view more details. This opens the Edit connected agent dialog.
The Edit connected agent dialog shows the connected agent's name, description, and details.
Review the agent configuration to ensure it aligns with your primary agent's goals. The Name and Description fields are editable.
Name: The connected agent's display name.
Description: What the agent specializes in.
Type: The type of agent. Currently, only Copilot Studio agents can be connected.
Select Save to apply changes to the connected agent.
Remove a connected agent
On the Build tab, locate the connected agent in the components panel under the Connected agents button.
Select the X next to the connected agent.
When prompted, select Remove to confirm your choice.
Note
Removing a connected agent from your agent doesn't delete the connected agent itself. It only removes the delegation relationship.
Troubleshoot routing issues
If a connected agent isn't being invoked when expected:
- Check the description: The connected agent's description must clearly describe its domain so the orchestrator can route to it.
- Avoid overlap: If multiple connected agents have similar descriptions, the orchestrator may have difficulty choosing the right one. Make descriptions distinct.
- Test in Preview: Use the Preview tab to send test messages and verify routing behavior.
- Review primary instructions: Your primary agent's instructions can influence routing decisions. Make sure they don't conflict with the connected agent's domain.
