Lesson 3 of the free AZ-401 series (domain 1): requirements and restrictions for agentic development (custom instructions, custom agents, agent skills, the agent loop, autonomy levels, hooks), the Azure DevOps MCP Server and the GitHub MCP server (remote or local, toolsets, read-only mode), and integrations with webhooks and Azure Boards, up to Copilot started from a work item. With three quick checks and a recap.
Preview the topics
- Contoso wants a code review agent that can read and search files, but must never edit them. What should the team define?
- An agent should list Contoso’s Azure DevOps work items and pipelines, but must never change them. How should the team configure the remote Azure DevOps MCP Server?
- Contoso wants to start GitHub Copilot from an Azure Boards user story, but no repository appears, and the code lives in Azure Repos. Why?
