You can build a Microsoft 365 Copilot declarative agent by writing a type-safe TypeSpec definition that compiles to JSON, guided by the M365 Agents Toolkit integration for planning, capability selection, and schema generation.

Defining capabilities for an M365 Copilot agent involves selecting specific functionalities like searching internal documents or scheduling meetings, which are then structured using type-safe TypeSpec definitions that compile into the required JSON schema.

Yes, you can test and debug Microsoft 365 agents locally in VS Code using the Agents Playground extension, which supports local debugging, environment configuration, and lifecycle management throughout the development workflow.

The M365 Agents Toolkit supports advanced enterprise agent design and validation by providing dedicated workflows for complex architecture planning, capability selection, and optimization to ensure robust declarative agent performance.

TypeSpec provides a modern, type-safe approach to declarative agent development, enabling developers to define agent structures cleanly before automatic compilation to the JSON format required by the Microsoft 365 Copilot platform.
