Microsoft FoundryAI Agent Development
Build enterprise AI agents that take action — with tools, memory, and governance.
Microsoft Foundry Agent Service lets you build enterprise AI agents that reason, use 1,400+ tools, retain memory, and take action on your systems — with the identity, governance, and observability enterprises require. Agents that act are powerful and risky; Faltrox helps build them and secures the identity, tools, and actions they can take.
Overview
What AI Agent Development is
AI agents go beyond answering questions — they reason, call tools, and take action on enterprise systems. That is powerful, but an agent that can act is also a new, high-privilege attack surface. Microsoft Foundry Agent Service provides the platform to build enterprise agents with the identity, governance, and observability that make them safe to deploy.
It lets agents reason over a goal, use 1,400+ tools and connectors to act, retain memory across a task, and operate under an agent identity with governed permissions and full observability. Faltrox helps you build agents on Foundry and applies the security lens: scoping what tools and actions an agent may take, securing its identity, and red-teaming it for prompt-injection that could hijack its actions. Agent security testing is delivered through our AI/LLM penetration testing service.

Works with
Part of the platform
Microsoft products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.

You buy the outcome, not the console
Managed by Faltrox
Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Microsoft AI Agent Development for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.
FAQ
Common questions
01What is an AI agent versus an AI application?
An AI application answers or generates; an AI agent reasons over a goal, uses tools, retains memory, and takes action on systems — it does things, not just says them. Foundry Agent Service is the platform to build enterprise agents with identity, governance, and observability.
02Why is agent security especially important?
An agent that can take action is a new, high-privilege attack surface — a prompt-injection that hijacks an agent could make it misuse its tools and permissions. That is why Faltrox scopes what an agent may do, secures its identity, and red-teams it for injection.
03How many tools can an agent use?
Foundry provides 1,400+ tools and connectors agents can use to take action across enterprise systems. Faltrox helps decide which tools and actions each agent should be permitted — scoping the blast radius is a core security control.
04How do you test agents for security?
Our AI/LLM penetration testing service red-teams agents for prompt-injection that could hijack their actions, tool misuse, excessive permissions, and data leakage — the agent-specific risks. We pair that with Foundry’s built-in governance and observability.
05How does Faltrox operate this?
We help you build agents on Foundry, scope and secure their identity and permitted actions, red-team them, and monitor them in production — so the power of acting agents is deployed with the security controls enterprises require.
