  "summary": "Microsoft Copilot Studio is automatable today through Power Platform CLI more completely than through REST. This record is the low-code studio for building agents and workflows at https://copilotstudio.microsoft.com. It is not Microsoft Foundry, not Microsoft 365 Copilot as an end-user chat product, and not Power Automate as a standalone product. pac copilot init, clone, pull, push, pack, publish, list, and delete keep an agent as files and synchronize it with a Dataverse environment after pac auth create. That is the documented authoring loop. Power Platform REST at https://api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/ deletes Agent Builder agents and runs maker evaluations against existing test sets. Those calls require a Microsoft Entra user access token from an app registration with CopilotStudio.AdminActions.Invoke (admin delete) or the documented evaluation scope. The powervirtualagents namespace is deprecated. Coverage is partial because REST does not document full topic, knowledge, and tool authoring. Copilot Studio agents can consume MCP servers; that is not a first-party Copilot Studio authoring MCP server. pac copilot mcp starts the Power Platform CLI local MCP server for invoking PAC commands; that server is a CLI helper, not a Copilot Studio product MCP. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. CLI scores 7 and is the best path. API scores 6.\n"
