New Copilot Experience: Unable to "Allow" tool connections from Connect Agents

Hi All,

I have been messing with the preview of the new Copilot Studio and noticed something that recently started to appear and was wondering if anyone else has seen it yet.

Similar to the "classic" Copilot Studio, agents now appear to be requesting permissions "Allow"/"Deny" when trying to use tools that leverage the user's authentication (e.g. Power Automate action as a tool).

However, it appears that when using Connected Agents, the "wiring" isn't there (or possibly incorrect), and it currently doesn't seem possible to allow/deny tools that are called from a downstream Connected Agent. Instead, the "main" agent is actually reasoning about the response.

New Copilot Experience: Access System Variables?

Hi all, I haven’t been able to find the information anywhere, so I assume the answer is no, but wanted to double check. Is there a way to access system variables like bot.id and conversation.id in the new copilot studio?

I used them in the classic editor to allow the agent post footers on things like comments so it was easier to track down which agent/conversation did the work.

New Copilot Studio Experience - Connected Agents 180s timeout?

Hi all, I’ve been messing with the new Copilot Studio experience and was testing out connected agents. I noticed that they seem to get a connection closed error after 180 seconds. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this intended? On the “classic” studio connected agents don’t have a timeout from what I’ve experienced.

This is pretty annoying for many use cases.
