What it checks
A published Copilot Studio agent that has not been modified in a long time continues to expose functionality and access while nobody is maintaining its configuration, permissions, or connected tools. Dormant published agents accumulate risk silently. This check flags published agents whose last modification is older than the dormancy threshold (default 90 days) for review or retirement.
Recommended value
Published agents are actively maintained; stale published agents are reviewed or retired
Remediation
Review each dormant published agent. Retire agents that are no longer needed (unpublish and delete), and for agents still in use, confirm their access controls, authentication, and connected tools are still appropriate, then update them to reset the maintenance clock.
Fixture-proven verdicts
Every verdict below is proven by a golden fixture in the module's gating test suite. This table derives from the last green run; it cannot be edited by hand.
| Scenario | Expected verdict |
|---|---|
| dormant | WARN |
| draft-only | PASS |
| maintained | PASS |
| not-assessed | Not Assessed |
