Microsoft's unified open-source successor to AutoGen and Semantic Kernel (GA 1.0, Apr 2026) providing a single .NET + Python SDK with graph-based workflows, state management, A2A and MCP interop. Shipped production-ready 1.0 in April 2026; the explicit successor that puts AutoGen into maintenance mode and consolidates Microsoft's agentic stack. Major ent

Status
Microsoft Agent Framework is Roadmap.
On the integration roadmap. The platform-side spine for this framework's pattern is already shipped — what remains is the per-framework adapter. Selecting it in the dashboard opens the notification opt-in rather than creating an actor.
How it will attach
SDK / Library.
The platform side of this pattern is already shipped and in use by other frameworks in the catalogue. The steps below are what attaching Microsoft Agent Framework will look like once its adapter is built — they are not runnable today.
Install the adapter
Add Intramedial.Actor.MicrosoftAgentFramework to your project.
Issue a workspace API key
Generate a key in the dashboard under Settings → API Keys, scoped to the workspace and environment this agent's data should land in.
Record each run
Construct the adapter once with your token and workspace id where you initialise your Microsoft Agent Framework agent, then call recordRun(run) when a run finishes. The adapter maps the run to signed receipts and, by default, captures a failed attestation instead of crashing your agent.
Verify
Trigger one agent run. The Witness page shows the record once the agent has emitted it.
What gets recorded
Coverage is not enumerated yet.
The registry does not yet enumerate which agent-runtime events this adapter captures. That list is filled in as the integration matures, and it is deliberately left empty rather than guessed at — an unverified coverage claim on a compliance product is worse than no claim.

Running agents on Microsoft Agent Framework today?
The platform-side spine for the SDK / Library pattern is already shipped — what Microsoft Agent Framework still needs is its own adapter. Customer demand is what moves it up the queue, so tell us you are running it.
Agents act when the plane says yes, and the record says why.
Put admission in front of your MCP servers, repositories, SaaS tools and cloud accounts. Every agent gets a lease or a reason – and you keep the lever to stop any of them.
