Summary

This PR adds repository-scoped Agency configuration for Microsoft contributors. It preconfigures the Azure DevOps MCP for the azure-sdk organization and the Kusto MCP for the shared DevCli telemetry database.

Access and data handling

  • The configuration contains service scopes and endpoints, not credentials.
  • Microsoft Entra authentication and existing Azure DevOps and Kusto permissions continue to control access.
  • Contributor guidance directs agents to use the tools only for authorized work and to follow the repository's telemetry privacy and data-classification requirements.

Testing

  • Parsed agency.toml with Python's TOML parser.
  • Confirmed the configured Azure DevOps MCP is scoped to the azure-sdk organization.
  • Confirmed a read-only Kusto connectivity query succeeds against the DevCli database.
  • Ran the repository spell checker and git diff --check.

Do the MCPs have any way to configure them so they are in read-only mode?

(curious about my earlier comment, but it's really only applicable if you explicitly launch agency)

There doesn't seem to be an official way through agency.toml, but the ADO MCP server does support a read-only header. I've submitted feedback to the Agency team internally to inquire about this and will keep it as-is for now.
