Where the workflow shifted
Microsoft announced Work IQ APIs for grounding agents in Microsoft Graph, meetings, files, people, and business-process context.
An enterprise agent needs to know who owns a task, where the evidence sits, and how a project moves before it can support real collaboration.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.
Check permissions and failure
- List the meetings, files, people, and workflow fields an agent needs, then set minimum permissions for each class
- Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production
What still needs proof
Without context layers, an agent can sound correct while missing the working reality of the organization. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
