Agentic systems change the shape of software delivery. Once a model can plan, call tools, modify state, and retry work on its own, the old question of…

Welcome to your weekly roundup of some Microsoft news in 2 minutes. The gist: Microsoft shipped an agent preview inside Visual Studio built on the same GitHub Copilot SDK that powers Copilot CLI, plus Foundry model updates and MCP C# SDK 2.0.

It is written for the procurement lead, the general counsel and the security reviewer. Those readers ask 4 questions before any rollout. Who pays if generated code triggers an IP claim?
