MS-4010 provides hands-on training in building declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot using Visual Studio Code and Teams Toolkit. Participants will learn to create agents that interact with APIs, display data using Adaptive Cards, and integrate Microsoft Graph connectors to extend Copilot’s functionality.
The course covers key development tasks such as building actions with API plugins, managing authentication, and adding custom knowledge sources. By the end, learners will be equipped to enhance Microsoft 365 Copilot with intelligent, responsive agents and earn a Microsoft credential validating their applied skills.
• Introduction to declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot to explore how agents enhance Copilot functionality and interact with business data.
• Build your first declarative agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot by using Visual Studio Code to define and implement agents using Teams Toolkit.
• Introduction to actions with API plugins for declarative agents to understand how plugins enable real-time data access and interaction.
• Build your first action for declarative agents with API plugin by using Visual Studio Code to create and integrate API-based actions.
• Use Adaptive Cards to show data in API plugins for declarative agents to visually present data and improve user experience.
• Authenticate your API plugin for declarative agents with secured APIs to ensure secure access using authentication methods like API keys or OAuth2.
• Add custom knowledge to declarative agents using Copilot connectors and Visual Studio Code to enrich agent responses with external data sources.
This course is intended for developers and technical professionals who want to extend Microsoft 365 Copilot by building declarative agents. It is suitable for individuals with basic programming experience who are interested in creating responsive, API-integrated agents using Visual Studio Code.
