AI Service Graph Connector for Microsoft
Summarize
Summary of AI Service Graph Connector for Microsoft
The AI Service Graph Connector for Microsoft enables ServiceNow customers to discover and import AI assets from Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft Copilot Studio into the ServiceNow AI Control Tower. It creates distinct AI connections for each Microsoft platform, cataloging AI agents, models, and prompts. This data feeds into the AI Control Tower value dashboard, providing comprehensive visibility and governance over AI operations.

Key Features
- Discovery of Azure AI Foundry agents across ML Services, AI Services, and New Foundry variants.
- Discovery of Microsoft Copilot agents across single or multiple Power Platform environments.
- Tracking AI asset lineage and dependencies through sub-component relationships.
- Aggregated usage and execution metrics by agent, date, and session.
- Flexible discovery scopes: tenant-wide or filtered by resource and region for Azure Foundry.
- Support for multi-environment discovery within Microsoft Copilot using a single connection.
Prerequisites and Setup
To configure the connector, users must have the snaidisc.discoveryadmin or sncmdbintutil.sgcadmin roles.
Initial setup steps include:
- Updating Data Source Access permissions to enable data source creation.
- Clearing cached data for Data Source and Tables via background scripts to ensure proper operation.
Azure AI Foundry Configuration
- Register an application in Microsoft Entra ID to obtain OAuth credentials.
- Assign the Reader role at subscription or resource group level and Azure AI Foundry User role on target resources.
- Configure discovery scope with options for tenant-wide discovery or filtering by specific resources and regions.
- Supports both original and New Azure AI Foundry variants, with the New Foundry treating each agent version as a separate entity and supporting additional tool types.
Microsoft Copilot Studio Configuration
- Register an application in Microsoft Entra ID to obtain OAuth credentials (Client ID and Secret).
- Grant application user access in Power Platform Admin Center by assigning Basic User and System Administrator roles.
- Supports multi-environment discovery by entering multiple environment IDs; same OAuth credentials apply across environments.
Practical Benefits
By implementing this connector, ServiceNow customers gain:
- Centralized visibility and governance of AI agents and models from Microsoft platforms within ServiceNow.
- Insight into AI asset dependencies and usage metrics to support operational management and compliance.
- Streamlined management of AI across multiple environments and regions without duplicative configurations.
The AI Service Graph Connector for Microsoft enables you to discover and import AI assets from Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft Copilot Studio environments into ServiceNow AI Control Tower.
The connector creates separate AI connections for each Microsoft platform, cataloging AI agents, models, and prompts. The usage information is consumed by the AI Control Tower value dashboard, providing comprehensive visibility and governance of your AI operations.
Key capabilities:
- Discovery of Azure AI Foundry agents across ML Services, AI Services, and New Foundry variants
- Discovery of Microsoft Copilot agents across single or multiple Power Platform environments
- AI asset lineage and dependency tracking through sub-component relationships
- Usage and execution metrics aggregated by agent, date, and session
- Support for tenant-wide discovery or filtered discovery by resource and region (Azure Foundry)
- Multi-environment discovery using a single Copilot connection

User Roles
You must have one of the following roles assigned to complete the configuration task.
| Required Role |
| sn_ai_disc.discovery_admin |
| sn_cmdb_int_util.sgc_admin |
ServiceNow Prerequisites
Complete the following setup steps once when configuring the connector for the first time.
The connector requires write permissions to the Data Source table to create data sources.
- Select Global from the application picker.
- Navigate to Application Access.
- Select the Can create, Can update, and Can delete checkboxes.
- Select Update.
- Switch to the connector application scope.
Clear the cached data for the Data Source and Tables.
- Navigate to System Definition > Background Scripts
- Paste the following script into the Run Script text box:
GlideTableManager.invalidateTable('sys_data_source'); GlideCacheManager.flushTable('sys_data_source'); GlideTableManager.invalidateTable('sys_db_object'); GlideCacheManager.flushTable('sys_db_object'); - Select Run Script.Note:The script may take several minutes to complete.
- After completion, switch to the connector application scope.
Azure AI Foundry Prerequisites
Complete the following steps in your Azure environment before creating an Azure Foundry connection.
The connector uses OAuth to authenticate with Azure APIs. To obtain credentials, register an application in Microsoft Entra ID. For full instructions, refer to the Azure documentation
- Reader role at the subscription or resource group level to discover resources.
- Azure AI Foundry User role on the Azure AI Foundry resources.
Configure the scope of Azure Foundry discovery using the following options:
Tenant-wide discovery (default): Leave the Resource Name and Region fields empty to discover all Al agents across your entire Azure tenant.
Filter by resource (optional): To limit discovery to specific resources, enter resource names as comma-separated values (e.g., resource1, resource2).
Filter by region (optional): To limit discovery to specific Azure regions, enter region names as comma-separated values (e.g., eastus, westus2).
Microsoft Copilot Studio Prerequisites
Complete the following steps in your Power Platform environment before creating a Copilot connection.
Register an application to obtain OAuth credentials for the connector.
- Follow the Microsoft Entra app registration quickstart to create a new application.
- Record the Client ID and Client Secret from the registration.
Configure the application as a user in your Copilot environment.
To configure application access:
- Open the Power Platform Admin Center
- Navigate to Environments and select your Copilot environment
- Go to Settings > Users + Permissions > Application users
- Select New App User and add your application using the Client ID from step 1
- Assign the following security roles to the application user
- Basic User
- System administrator
You can discover agents from multiple Copilot environments using a single connection. To configure multi-environment discovery:
- Enter multiple environment IDs as comma-separated values in the Environment ID field (eg.., env-id-1, env-id-2, env-id-3)
- The same OAuth credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) are used for all environments
- Ensure the application user is configured in each environment with the required security roles
- Each environment will be tested and discovered separately during the import process
